However my tearing wasn't that great so I tried it cutting the paper and inking around the edges and came up with these flowers.
I also had a go at a tutorial from here which is in German, but you use circles of organza and then melt the edges - there are 2 similar colours in there and then I used a small flower punch and a brad to make them look like poppies. You can use other fabrics like tulle and they curl similarily.
Hope that might inspire some of you to have a go! :)
All your flowers are lovely. I am def. going to try the organza ones...as soon as i get some material.
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers especially the organza, very clever. These are really expensive to buy too.

I like the effect you got with both the tearing and the cutting!....I found it easier to tear a circle if I roughly drew out the circle on the back of the cardstock.
ReplyDeleteI posted a similar tutorial as the organza one a little while back here http://mycreativescrapbook.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=1249 .....there are a couple of different sheer flower tutorials at this link :)
Thanks for giving it a go!
