Firstly, a warm welcome to my new followers, thanks for joining in!
Well this is the first time I have ever made a hand-made flower…so I decided on some grunge ones! And I think they turned out just fine. I cut out some circles, inked them up (Faded Jeans, Weathered Wood and Broken China), scrunched, unscrunched, sprayed with water and put a brad in the middle to hold together, scrunched again and then tipped the edges with more ink (phew, that was a mouthful). And then put a little Kindy Glitz around the edges.
Checkout the flowers made by the other DT members…they are Awesome!

My background papers are layered, ripped, inked with Rusty Hinge and Faded Jeans DI and then rolled.
I have taken some inspiration from Claire’s last card at Fashionable Stamping Challenges, and have used acetate with tulips stamped onto it with StayzOn Ink. I have then turned it over and glitzed and inked it in patches using Rusty Hinge DI again.

The leaves are inked, scrunched, unscrunched and sprayed with water and placed under the acetate.
The tag is inked and stamped and a brad inserted.
Enjoy!

Hi Dot,
What a gorgeous card you have designed here. Your handmade flowers are amazing (handmade flowers are my absolute favorite!). I love how you have your layers peeling back – such a sweet vintage effect!
If I'm not mistaken, you ordered from my Etsy shop over the weekend and I mailed you a package today. I was doing a bit of blog surfing this evening and happened to stumble onto your blog and wanted to say hi – but first wanted to compliment you on your wonderful piece!
Thanks for sharing your lovely work!
