One more paper crafting post before I promise another "Booh Bear" post! This latest wall hanging was made from a pre-cut, whitewashed, wooden plaque. I dyed several colors of 90 lb. watercolor paper using different mixes of Dylusions Inks. After the paper has dried, the flower cutting begins! I really enjoy flower making ... it borders on therapeutic for me! I guess that is how I end up spending hours upon hours making flowers! After die cutting the flowers, I tipped the petals in color box inks, dampened them slightly and curled the petals using fondant ball tools. I know there are some fancy flower making ball tools out there (with a fancy price to match) but you will get the same effect using fondant ball tools and they are a lot less expensive. The dies used on this piece were Sizzix Tattered Florals, Garden Greens, and Fancy Flourishes ... along with the butterfly die that came with the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit. The smaller flowers were die cut using 5 different JoyCrafts! Florals dies. I hope you like my latest paper craft! Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!
