Many, many years ago my daughter gave me some dried flowers she purchased from somewhere and then she gave them to me because she thought I could use them on a card. Well those flowers sat in my craft room unused for years until I discovered them while cleaning out my craft room. My winter project this year was to clean out and reorganize my craft room. It was a huge undertaking and I still plan on doing a blog post about it. I donated truck loads of supplies I never used. When I came across the flowers, I felt bad that I never used the flowers given to me, so I decided to finally make that card with them.
Unfortunately, the flowers were so old by now they were very fragile; but I did my best trying to keep the blooms for disintegrating as I worked with them. To make my card I carefully glued the flowers to a white card panel, then to keep them from disintegrating further, I sprayed them with a fixative.
The flower panel looked very vintage to me, so I decided a vintage style card would look best with the dried flowers. I used designer paper that reminded me of old wall paper; it is from DCWV "Tres Chic". Then I added some lace and ribbon and put gold gems in the corners of the flower panel. the sentiment is a sticker.
Creating this card made me think that I should really press my own flowers from my garden. I have some Bachelor Buttons that would be perfect for drying. But if I do that, hopefully they won't sit for years before I finally use them 😀.
Have A Great Day! Amy
