Well i have had this idea in my head for some time now, and was wondering if i give it a go how it would turn out. I love looking at the bird of paradise plants and marvel at how the flowers are just so different to any other and i wanted to try and capture it in a card. I hope i have done this beautiful flower justice in trying to replicate it on a card.
The vase is a scalloped oval punch with the top and bottom ends cut off and the flowers are made from the stampin' up birdie punch. I will be putting up the tutorial for it on my blog soon, if you would like the instructions, i just want to give it a few more attempts to perfect it but this is my first attempt at creating the bird of paradise punch art.
