Dreaming of Summer Flowers

Hi!

Summer is having a little trouble starting in the south right now. I thought I could create some of my own summer by making these pretty flowers.

If you have ventured into any craft store lately I know that you have seen these flowers for sale.  I purchased a new tool will allow me to make these for myself. The curvy cutter spiral maker by ek tools® is simple to use and will have your house full of flowers in no time!

 After cutting the spiral, use a pair of tweezers and roll up tightly. NOTE: You can open the roll as much as you want when done to create a loose flower.

I created a summer background on a small vertical canvas to add my flowers to. NOTE: I think that using two sided cardstock works the best for the flowers.

I used handmade paper for the stems and lower grass. For the stems I rolled the paper and then twisted it so that I could manipulate it more. Cut out leaves from cardstock and attach them to the stems.

 I used dew drops and flower stamina in the center of each flower. Lastly I painted a bird and added a dream sticker in the sky.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial for making these summer flowers with The Robin's Nest® cardstock.

Sadly this will be my last tutorial for The Robin's Nest.  I have been asked to join DecoArt as a blogger and outside artist. A big thank you to The Robin's Nest owners and the creative team of designers I can now call my friends.

You can still follow my creative journey over at My Altered life blog and My Altered Life on FB.

Now go create something amazing!
