Handmade Flowers

Good morning....it's Thursday again, and time for a new challenge at Charisma.  This week we are looking for you to make your own embellishment.  Be sure to check out the rest of the DT's wonderful creations for some great ideas!


So we'll start with the flowers, which are die-cut from some lightweight mulberry papers.  I then added some colour and doodles, plus some gemstones for the centres.  I've placed them on another die cut which I think looks like a trellis.

This time, I played with water colours for the image, with lots of DI around the die-cut edges.  If you look closely, you will see I also added dots to the edging, both here and on the corner pieces which were made with a corner punch.  All dies and punches are listed below.

Supplies used:
Basic Grey paper - Sweet Threads collection
Magnolia stamp - Tilda with Spring Bundle
Elizabeth Craft Designs die - Bunch of Flowers 2
Marianne's Craftable Die - Swirls and Leaves 3
Spellbinder's dies - Fleur de Lis Squares & Labels Twenty
Martha Stewart corner punch - Double Arches

Hopefully you can spare some time to make a card and join in with us this week, as once again we have some lovely sponsors.  Here they are with some fabulous prizes, and by clicking on each image you can see their product.

Prize #1
