Spring Flowers

 I was going through my picture folders and realized that I hadn't shared all the cards I had made while I was one the Splitcoast  dirty dozen team.  These were done last May so I am trying to remember what the theme was but I think it was flowers.

This first card I gave my sister last year for her birthday.


I made rolled flowers in all different sizes and colors and the dragonfly was stamped on cardstock and vellum for the leaves. Topping off with a sprinkling of gems.

This second card I made some quilled flowers using some very thin strips of papers I cut, then rolled up and shaped into different shapes to make up the flowers. The stems I ran through my crimper. It is a 5x7 card.


The very last one I will be sharing was some Faux glass flowers.  I used clear packaging, added some alcohol inks to it, then stamped onto the sheet with stazon ink. Cut the flowers out with Tim Holtz die. Then heated with a heat gun to give them dimension, adding gems to the centers.


I have one more set to share some time but I have finished my Christmas cards for this month so I will probably share those next :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Wow! These are all so lovely! Your rolled flowers are perfection! I really like seeing the quilled flowers... I have quilling strips and I keep telling myself that one of these days I will use them... (I hope anyway!)

Such beautiful cards! But I especially love the quilling flowers. I've always thought that is such a cool method...but it looks like it would be hard to do? You did a great job! ;)

Look at you go! I love all of your creativity you displayed. Ingenous using packaging. Those flowers are stunning. I didn't know you knew how to quill. That's quite the talent Connie!

OMG! The rolled flowers are insanely fun. I've not seen that before. Back in the day I made tissue flowers. So long ago now though I recall the fun! Cheers, Ivy.

Love the dimension on the first card. Great flowers. The quilling is perfect. It has been a bit since I have done quilling and I really want to give it a go again. The faux glass flowers is on my wish list to try. I have always love the look and really want to try it.
