Hope all of you are well wherever you are. It’s been so hectic here ever since school began on 1st.Aug.Thank God a weekend has come by quickly so I could share a card I made with you almost 2 weeks ago for an 'Anything goes challenge with a twist' at For the Love of Crafting Challenge Blog. I’m really pleased how my card turned out and I hope you like it too. These are the best pics I could get using my cell phone from different angles as the digi cam is not-functional. By the way, my monitor is also dead and I'm using my DD's laptop to post this. I will visit you'll after get a new monitor in a week or two.
Here's a close up of the flowers. Can you guess what they are made of??
Supplies used:
Brown cardstock for card base
Corrugated paper from packaging for panel
Jute & burlap cord on either side of the corrugated
paper
Flowers made using Ferrero Rocher paper cases
Swirls & flower centres from a Cadbury box
Sentiment is an outline sticker.
Scissors, glue, McGill word tag punch & 3D foam tape
Instructions to make the flowers:
Cut each chocolate case into 8 triangular wedges,
Shape each wedge individually into circular petal.
Glue 5 petals around a circle of cardstock same size as the flower centre
To make the larger flower I used 15 petals in 3 layers
& for the smaller flower 10 petals in 2 layers.
Cover the top with the flower centre (a circle gold paper)
Gently turn the petals upwards for dimension.
Then glue your completed flower wherever you please.
Simple isn’t it?
