I've been playing this morning with some die cut shapes to see if I could make some flowers and these odd looking ones are my first effort. I'd like to try some animals or characters but not sure I can be quite that imaginative. I do look at YouTube videos by Deb Hallett who builds up some great ones which must require lots of patience. I didn't really want to copy what she's made although I don't think she has done flowers in this way. Having made a couple of passable flowers the next thing was to decide just how to use them and I've gone for a stamped and stencilled grungy background within a framed circle. This was fun but it took me most of the morning 😉.
Stencil - Lavinia
Stamps - Globleland (Amazon)
Die Cutting - Abstract Elements from Sizzix (Tim Holtz)
This extremely pretty Val, the background is beautifully done.

A very intriguing card with your fab grungy background and the quirky flowers. Very creative indeed. Sounds like a happy morning spent at the craft desk. Xxx
ReplyDeleteI think they are very funky and remind me of 70s design. They look wonderful on your card background.
