Handmade Flowers

So this Saturday at Hiding in my Craft Room we are doing Homemade Flowers!! 

A few months ago I went to my local scrap store to do a workshop on hand made flowers so the flowers were already made I just needed to make the card

These Flowers were made using satin and the pink one is organza, that were cut into a variety of circles that we then heated over a tea light, (small flame) this made the ends curl up and you are then able to make the petal shapes. The more you heat these the more crinkled looking they become. To finish then off, I have used pearls/rhinestone for the centers.

 The background papers are from My Minds Eye 6x6 paper pad Fine and Dandy Girl. The banner is the reverse side of the same piece of paper that I created with my scissors.

The sentiment is from the K Andrew Designs stamp set Owly Hoo, this is a mix & match sentiment stamp set.

So now it is your turn to join us with your home made flowers at Hiding In My Craft Room!!

Have a Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie
