For Lee's Paperless Flowers VSN Mini challenge.
I had to take two photos - one in the sunshine so you can see how clear and transparent these are, and one more in the shade but showing more detail.
I used the Faux Glass Flowers tutorial, using old Spellbinders packaging and TH Tattered Florals die.
Thanks for the time extension, Lee! I might just have made it in an hour once I gave up on the idea of adding stems and leaves . But it meant I had time to add all the little seed beads. I'll use this when gift-wrapping a present to a friend who always wraps things so beautifully.
For the flowers, I followed the tutorial. I used acrylic paints to edge the flowers, not sure whether I'll do this again, it was very fiddly. I punched stamen centres from a tomato paste tube (no paper!), and added pearls in the centres.
I tied a bow and heated the ribbon to distress it. Rubbed in some gold and white luster rub-ons, stuck the flowers on, and then stitched on the gold seed beads.
