Today looks like spring, although the temp outside with the cold north wind says otherwise. My daffodils are blooming and I'm stamping- flowers!
Well, it was a process, but not to difficult, so I'll tell you. For each flower I punched a scallop circle and two- five petal flowers. I wadded up one of the 5 petal flowers and the scallop circle several times breaking up the fibers in the paper. I then ran them over the edge of the table in several directions many more times to continue breaking down the fibers. When they are very tired and limp you can divide the layers of paper into 2 very soft pieces (they call this the suede technique I think because the inside layer looks like suede). I like how it gives my petals a softer, more flowery look than the full thickness of card stock. I offset my layers this way: sueded scallop circle, sueded scallop circle, 5 petal flower, sueded 5 petal flower, sueded 5 petal flower, sponge daub with Daffodil delight ink, and hold together with orange flower brad. Of course I fluffed up the flowers to make them softer and more ruffly.
The stems are just 1/8 slices of Lucky Limeade card stock with hand cut leaves.
I found this layout here as part of a blog hop (tssc2111). I'm going to try to link up to this blog hop so wish me luck!
