I wonder if you've noticed that I hardly ever use premade flowers on my projects. I either fussy-cut my blooms from patterned papers or make them out of felt. It's not that I don't have any premade blooms. Really it's because I'm pretty lousy at using them. *LOL*.
I marvel at those beautiful blooms on other people's layouts but try as I might, they just look very out of place on my projects. They are either the wrong colour or the wrong size. *LOL* Sticking to making my own. *winks*
Supplies: My Mind's Eye patterned paper, Heidi Grace pin, Adorn It stickers, KaiseCraft pearls, trim, corrugated board, tulle. handmade felt blooms.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card....love your home-made blooms:) I have jars of flowers I have bought ages ago......but I too find I like the ones I make best.
ReplyDeleteI adore your card! Love all the fun textures (tulle! Cool!) and I'm the same way with purchased ones. Unless I also bought other things in the collection, they're never the right style/color/size for what I want :)
ReplyDeleteur cards look lovely with those DIY flowers, they add tht special touch, and always are so pretty,
ReplyDeleteps thank u so much for the birthday wishes, :) :)
I love your blooms so much!!! I'm no good at using store-bought ones either... handmade ones look so lovely. You are very clever with your hand made blooms!!!
ReplyDeleteMakes sense! I think if everyone else could make flowers as well as you can, they wouldn't use the premade ones either!
ReplyDeleteOnly yesterday I was thinking of your felt flowers. I have to make those loopy flowers and I so agree with you.Making flowers is so much more fun than buying them
ReplyDeleteCheers

ReplyDeleteAnd a big YAY!!! on winning the neon challenge!! This is a rare happening for me - uber excited! Thank you.
You should sell your blooms Yvonne! You make them so beautifully!! I know what you mean about not being comfortable with a lot of them on your layouts though - you're either a flower girl or you're not. I feel that way about other embellishments...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and flowers!!! Love the dimension in them. I feel the same way about premade flowers. I have a ton of them, but never feel comfortable on how I place them on my layouts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! So soft and pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think your handmade flowers are absolutely gorgeous and unique, so I don't blame you at all for preferring to make them. This card is stunning!
ReplyDeleteIove your hand made flowers! Just think -they are so pretty and much less expensive, too!
ReplyDeleteWell, if I could make blooms as gorgeous as yours, I wouldn't use any others, either! LOL They truly are beautiful, and Love the colors you picked for them.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers alwasy look amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the blooms!
