Flower Power!

March 29, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 17 Comments

I was so happy with the results of the butterflies that I decided to make another picture for my room only this time with flowers.

A few people have asked where to get the punches. My mum bought the Fiskars/Heidi Grace punch from Big W for about $8. For the paper I used a spare Hancock’s of Paducah catalogue. This is good because it has all different colours and patterns in it. To make the flowers slightly raised I used sticky foam dots. My Mum and I had trouble finding a deep frame but found one when we went to IKEA. It was a ribba for $10.

    The flowers look awesome. I was loving the butterflies too. You are right though, they look great in a frame with some depth to it.

    You have lots of lovely craft on your blog. Thanks for visiting over at mine.

    Oh I see you found that RIBBA frame. They also have bigger ones, I made a bigger butterfly frame for our entry (which looks really good) and smaller ones to give away.
    Bye,
