Fusion: Crepe Paper Flower

 


 
Welcome to another fun Fusion Challenge! This week I was taken with the amazing texture on those purple flowers. Totally reminded me of crepe paper.

 
  
So that's what I did! I colored a strip of white crepe paper with purple copics, cut rectangles with rounded corners for each petal, and colored the middle in with a darker purple. Then I gathered each petal and adhered it around a small circle which I used for the base. The center is another purple circle, topped with glossy accents, and sprinkled with clear seed beads.
  

The scripty Big Bold Happy sentiment from winnie & walter makes a nice stem for the flower. To finish the sentiment, "birthday" is stamped several times in different colors to make up the ground. 

Here are some fabulous cards by our design team!



WinnersWill be chosen by all of our teammates in two weeks. We each will choose one favorite. The winners will be announced at 4 am (PST) in two weeks!

Thanks for looking!

  4. Genius at work should be the sign hanging from your craft room door. That flower is gorgeous, Kelly, and then to use the "happy" as the stem. Like I said "Genius".
