P is for Paper Flowers


Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter P. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their P element will be featured in their post.

If you came from Darlys then you're on the right track!

For my P, I chose to use up some of the stash of Paper Flowers I had in my craft box. Most crafters have a stash of these, and I struggle to use them on my layouts. I have come up with three cards that use the Paper Flowers so that I can start destashing them!

This first card has three layers of flowers held together with a button, which I placed in the centre of an embossed piece of cardstock. I used the diffuser to create a blank space where the flower sits, so that it is not competing with the raised dots.



This second card also uses three layers of paper flowers, held together with an antique brad. I added some Bronze Shimmer trim and a stamped sentiment to finish the card.



Lastly. I experientwed with stamping directly onto a paper flower. I added some stamped leaves to create a layered look, and doodled around the edges of some cardstock.



Now I have three cards using Paper Flowers, which will be easy to recreate with different paper packets and sentiments.
