Papertrey February Blog Hop (Quatrefoil Ombre Monogram)

 Many of you know I have a lot of left over quatrefoils, so I wanted to put them to good use at Papertrey's monogram blog hop today.

Here's the complete project. I'd like to think it's for my craft room because the springy colors make me happy. But realistically I would need a free 8" of horizontal space to set it up. So, let this be my motivation to clean, purge, and refresh!

Here's the quatrefoil die. Each flower is made from one of the rounded quatrefoil shapes. If you'd like to see how, I have a step-by-step photo for a similar flower at the end of yesterday's post. This flower is even easier though, you just need to cut along the lines shown and then fold the petals upwards.

Here's a closer shot so you can see the 3D flowers making up the monogram.

One of the reasons I like these flowers so much is that they're all 3D and flowery, yet when you look at them head-on, they are squares. And they fill the background with that same color. Perfect for an ombre treatment.

 Thanks so much for looking!
