This is closer to my original idea when I ended up with this frame. Kirsteen Gill made a hydrangea card that I love and I used a piece of her design to make this –
The flower is a 2″ styrofoam ball sliced in half. I punched lots of little flowers with the Itty Bitty flower punch and sponged them with Marina Mist ink. Then I used pins to attach them to the ball. Note – keep wire cutters on hand in case the pins stick all the way through. You need the back to be flat! After the flowers are all attached, top the pins with pearls – so cute!
The stem is stamped directly on to the frame with Stazon and then colored with Classic Inks and a blender pen. The strip at the bottom is stamped on Whisper White and trimmed very close, sponged and glued down. Once all the flowers are sponged it goes together quickly! And it’s not quite as “shiny” in real life.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Friends 24/7
card stock – Whisper White
Ink – Marina Mist, Stazon
Stampin Write Markers – Old Olive, Marina Mist
Ect – 2″ styrofoam ball, pearls, Silver Hodepodge frame, Marina Mist taffeta, painted frame
Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
I just love your 3D flower, it is so elegant, it is sweet. I just wonder what kind of glue you are using to keep the pearls on the pin? I love the way it turns out, I am going to make a CASE. Thanks for sharing
The pearls are self -adhesive (or would that be adhering?) They already have glue on them and no more was needed! Have fun making one!
This is fabulous! What a beautiful, creative way to decorate your frame!
What a great idea!! This is a really cute card, I would like to case it but not sure I have time today.
What a great project!
Just Fabulous!!
