Pixie Snippets Playground 147

I've taken a picture of some more of my paper blooms (see previous post) which I imagine should qualify for the Pixie Snippets challenge this week because those fringed asters and the other blooms certainly involved lots of snipping.  The finished flowers are around 3 inches across and the asters for instance involved cutting fringes with scissors into three strips of mauve/purple paper around 16" long for each - this certainly required a degree of concentration!!  The alium type flowers are made from numerous punched shapes glued to polystyrene balls and then 'fluffed out'.  Apologies for the photograph but I had to take it rather quickly because I seem to have lots of odd jobs to catch up on today so couldn't really spare any more time to set this up but I'm sure you get the general idea. Hopefully when I've caught up with myself I can get back to making some more cards.
