Papers & Plums

Back in February 2009 I made this butterfly collage inspired by Ali Edwards to grace my wall. I had so much fun making it that I wanted to make another one using different paper punches. I picked up two Hydrangea Martha Stewart punches at Michaels along with a piece of patterned paper. In order to make the two match I decided to use the same paper as last time. On my way home I picked up a small twig found in the parking lot. Here's a picture of all the supplies needed.

It was so simple:

1. Cut a piece of white card stock to fit your frame. Mine needed to be 8 1/2" x 10". 
2. Punch out a good selection of flowers in different sizes.
3. Attach the twig to the cardstock using dimensionals. I think I only attached it in two places as I figured that the overlapping flowers would hold it in place. It turns out I was right about that assumption.
4. Attach the flowers around the twig using dimensionals.
5. Insert completed collage into the shadow frame of your choice.

Time to complete this project? Less than one hour!! How is that for a satisfying craft session?

I really enjoy having these hand made decorations on my walls. I'll leave you with this close up of the flowers.

Thank you for stopping by,
