Flowers are a timeless embellishment. We love using them because of the beauty we see in them in nature, and the variety and possibilities are endless! Perhaps that is why we have over 300 blossoms to choose from available in the store.
With the recent warm weather we have experienced in the changing seasons, we challenged a few of the Garden Girls to have fun playing with florals in their recent projects. Here is what they came up with.
Also, don't forget our giveaway for Amy's new workshop is still open!
In the Moment by Becky Novacek
An eclectic batch of florals pop against a chic mix of white and cream. Canvas florals like these can be altered with spray mists or other color mediums, or left alone like Becky has done here.
That's My Girl by Jaime Warren
One way to get mileage out of the blossoms in your stash is to cut them out of your favorite floral patterned paper. Give them dimension by lifting them off the page with pop-dots, and cluster them with clouds, stars and doilies for a whimsical feel.
Loved Every Minute by Amy Tan
Amy created her own custom embellishment by layering punched vellum, a strawberry brad and velvet-y leaves in the center of her layout. She finished off the layout with some subtle stamping of a teeny tiny floral design. Lovely!
Thanks for Everything by Kandis Smith
Do you need some inspiration for mixing products from different manufacturers? Kandis shares how! She's created a beautiful focal point in this card set by layering a trendy woodgrain label with delicate lace florals and fun stick pins.
You Are My Sunshine by Wendy Sue Anderson
Wendy has selected a handful of beautiful printed florals for this texture-filled page. Prima Marketing often does the work for you by adding centers to their flowers, but you can just as easily add buttons, twine, punched paper, etc to give your embelishments a bit more character.
