Organza Peony
I came across this great tutorial on making organza flowers and had to give it a go engageology.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/diy-organza-flower-t... . It’s fun, but if you try it be very careful! I used 6 different sized circles of organza in two shades of pink and added beads to the centre. One of the leaves from the Scattered Leaves set is stamped on some green organza (it was impossible for me to catch the stamping in the photo). The leaves were cut out with a fine pointed soldering iron so they won’t fray. The branch background and scallop border are embossed in white. The pink pp was originally a very pale pink so I sponged it with worn lipstick distress ink to get the shade I wanted. The flower reminds me of the peonies my mam has in her garden so I’m going to give this to her on her birthday next month.
The card fits into a few challenges as well as the current HA one - Moxie Fab World (Fun with Fabric) www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/05/fun-with-fabric-challenge.html , Card Patterns (Sketch 64) cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2010/05/sketch-64.html and Jenny’s Challenge #6 (pink and embellishments) suchins.blogspot.com/2010/05/challenge-6-my-favorites.html.
