Cool Flower technique

 

 

My friend Lorrie posted  a really cute card with a similar flower on the Stampin Connection site yesterday. That is an awesome website just for Stampin Up demonstrators to share ideas. It has only been active for 3 weeks and already has over 30,000 samples on there! That is just another great reason to be a Stampin Up demonstrator!

Anyway, I looked at the picture and tried to figure it out and after playing around with it for a little while (I should have just called Lorrie and asked her how to do it) I think I finally got it. I knew it was just a stack of different size circles scrunched up so I punched out 3 of each size (1 3/4, 1 3/8, 1 1/4, and 1 inch) . That was a little too much so I took a few away….so I ended up using 3 each of the bigger ones and 2 each of the smaller ones. So, I scrunched them all up and unfolded them and then poked through all of them with the paper piercer and then inserted a brad to hold them all together. Then start scrunching them back up again one by one until you get them to look like this. I did use 2 different colored patterns from the Bella Bleu designer papers to give it more depth. The vine is from my favorite set Vintage Vogue!

  1. Lisa  what a great use of color and design.  I's lucky to have that paper.  I wonder how it would look with the black and white DSP from the wedding shower set.  Kathy

  2. It's totally fabulous, Lisa !!  I tried that last week and didn't scrunch before putting them all together.. i think that must be the key 🙂  LOVELY !  Now to pull out some Bella Bleu paper again…  🙂
