Paper Flowers

Hi there!
It's a new challenge at  Papercraft Star today and over the past few weeks each one of the designers has been asked to set the challenge ... This week it's my turn and I'm asking that you create a card or project that features a Handmade Flower(s)

I just love to see the variety of handmade flowers out there and I've tried many of them yet funnily enough one of my all time favourites is the simplest of all ... 
I call them punched and scrunched ... just punch a bunch of them and scrunch them up ...


The colour scheme for this card started with that little piece of ribbon would you believe! I'm just loving the peachy colours as you can tell


I used a Woodware 5 petal punch on scraps of digital papers to create my flowers and just some lightweight white card for one of them...
I love the definition these flowers give


If you've been following Anitra's tutorials on Papercraft Star you will see she showed us how to make some beautiful tattered flowers ... Here

We are really looking forward to seeing your creations this week do please come and join us..
Don't forget to stop by the Blog to check our the lovely projects from the team too!

have a beautiful day and keep safe
