I love having an excuse to make flowers! Usually they are rather large and grungy but today I thought I would try and make some dainty ones for a change. I have made them all using paper punches and out of 160gsm white paper, with the exception of the centres for the daisies which are 80gsm.
The paper punches used are Boho Blossoms from Stampin Up for the daisies and little blue flowers and a small sun-ray punch from Floral Punches for the centres of the daisies. An ordinary single hole punch made the centres for the blue flowers. I moulded them into shape using a deet tool and moulding mat after brushing the edges with either pink or blue ink. The daisies are 3 layers and the blue flowers 1 layer only. The more you make, the quicker you get at making them!
The sentiment is from Clarity Stamps and the foliage punches are by Stampin Up (branch from bird and branch punch) and Tesco. The white base card was inked around edges with DI Spun Sugar and embossed using a flourish background stamp (Stampin Up) and a sparkly pale pink embossing powder.
