{40th Birthday card}

Used up some retired paper for the flowers.  The background was embossed with the Fluttering embossing folder, then I used a sponge dabbed with in the white Craft Ink.

I had the pleasure of providing a Crafty Party for a young lady turning 9, she had invited her favourite people to have a crafty time making some bunting, decorating a notebool and creating a fabulous flower pen.

Here are some pics from the party.

Is the question I've been asking people on Facebook...

I'm referring to the centres of the flowers below.  Been playing with paper punches tonight, getting ready for a class next week.

I've used the Fun Flower Punch, Pansy Punch and the Birthday Blossoms stamp set.

To buy the punches and stamps used to make this flower look below...

Yes... another flower pen, still pretty, still useful but a new design!  

Had a lovely day with some crafty ladies at my "Bring Your Own" Craft day or Crop (for you scrapbookers).

-{Paper Wild Rose}- Video Tutorial

I absolutely loved creating this.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I get those Eureka! moments when crafting.  Last week I had to prepare a paper flower class, and I knew that the ladies participating were well seasoned crafters, so I had to do something a bit different and inspirational for them.  I had been thinking about how to use stamps to create different colour effects on flower shapes, the "sun" stamp from Kinda Eclectic just seemed to work so well.

I'll let you watch the video... I'm sorry that it goes a bit blurry, my camera didn't refocus like it normally does, and I'm afraid I'm too pushed for time to re film.  Had a wonderful week preparing for and then attending a friends wedding this weekend.

On the left is a flower that I have curled the petals inwards and the other one I haven't.

Ingredients:

Spiral Flower Die
