Sorry I’ve not posted for a long time, but I'm back with this little present I made my Great Nana for her 98th Birthday!
I used the Flower Daisies from the Bigz Dies selection in the mini catalogue for this little masterpiece. I simply ran many sheets of Whisper White card stock and inked the petals with Blushing Bride ink pad. The subtle colour complements the white perfectly. I tried using coloured card stock for this but preferred the different tones you get when you ink the petals yourself. I layered them and stuck them together.
I used buttons covered in Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for the centre and added a bit more Dazzling Diamonds on a few of the petals to finish it off. I am very pleased with the end result!
The main trouble with this project came with making the flowers free standing. After trying (and failing) many different ideas I used a couple of my daughters furry pipe cleaners wrapped tightly with Organza Ribbon in Whisper white and popped them in an old nail varnish pot with another piece of Organza Ribbon tied around the top. The pipe cleaners made arranging the flowers easy and the glass nail varnish pot gave the right amount of weight to stabilise it and allow the flowers to stand. I am overall very happy with this project and look forward to sharing some more you.
Thanks for looking and hope you like it too! :) Xxx
