So a huge shout out to my mom!!! Love her!!!! Our life would not succeed, function, exist without her help! I simply adore my momma!
I did this layout I think 2 years ago using Glitz Design & Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock. Still love it!
So why not create a bouquet out of paper flowers? Lot's of flower petal layers.
start out by getting out your Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock and die cutting as many flower petals & leaves as you think you will need. I mix and matched colours. Remember, try to make as much dimension as possible, so use Cardstock like Core'dinations, so you can sand it, emboss it, ink it, or try their patterned cardstock. You will have more choices on what your flowers will look like.
don't forget leaves too. Here I edged al my leaves with Clearsnap ink. It gives a little more dimension. these leaves are from the Sizzix Bigz Die- Flowers & leaf
Now start creating flowers. I like to ink where I am going to manipulate the petals. For this flower below, it is kind of any easy decision. this flower is called the 3D Fringed Flower from Sizzix.
I use the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam squares to make the flowers "pop" more.
then try other types of flowers from Sizzix- Tattered Florals
here's another type of flower I love. click here to see Sizzix die.
(sorry this next picture I took at night, tried to brighten it, but not really successful) But you get the idea of what it should start looking like.
Now you need to create something to arrange your flowers on. I purchased a foam ball, but I don't want the white to show through, so I covered it with a green tulle.
Once the entire thing is covered it should look like this. (keep in mind, I didn't cover the bottom since it would be adhered into the pot.)
Not start pinning the flowers all over. I chose to use the Trinket Pins by Maya Road for the flower centres, that way it looked pretty AND I had a way to adhere them.
Here's the finished look again! Hope you enjoy and have a FANTASTIC Mother's Day!
Thanks for looking!
