Hello! It's the first Monday of the month so you know what that means: time for a new Wink Wink Ink Challenge! This month's challenge is to create a card or project and use at least one hand made embellishment. Well, I've been seeing these hand crafted paper flowers all over the place, so I decided it was the perfect time for me to try making one. After AN HOUR of cutting, shaping, rubbing,
gluing, and sponging, I think I'll pay the four bucks and just keep buying my
Prima Flowers!
LOL! Sorry, but its just not worth the time!
For my card today, I used a new Freebie by
Wink Wink Ink. You can find it
HERE. My hand made embellishment is in the lower right corner. The paper is by DCWV 'The Spring Stack'.

Your handmade flower is so beautiful. I made one similar the other day, but it seems too big for a card...maybe a gift. The little duckie is sooo cute...I have to jump on over to Wink Wink, they have the nicest digis. Very nice card Amy.

ReplyDeleteAwesome card Amy and your flower is BEAUTIFUL!! I know what you mean about the time involved ... I tried it once and it took me FOREVER!!! Great job though ... thanks for the closeup!
ReplyDeleteYour flower turned out great and it's a fun accent to your card. But I do know what you mean. I also tried making one of these flowers and the end result was not great and ended up in the recycling bucket.
