Flower #31

It's not that I have anything against Hallmark, I just never buy their cards. Or anyone's cards, really. I have too much fun making my own. It gives me the perfect chance to experiment with new techniques on something small. If it turns out poorly, I didn't waste a lot of material. If it turns out well, I can give it away and make someone's day as well. That's what I did for this week's flower, which came about after getting acquainted with flocking:



Posies
Assorted card stock and flocking

Stickers are probably one of the only mediums that can cater to both ends of crafting spectrum, looking either elementary or sophisticated. And, they're perfect for those who like instant gratification.

I found some tiny, square stickers in the scrapbook aisle of the craft store, and was instantly inspired to make this week's flower:



Dogwood Flower
