FlowerPower to the people

Paper flowers are the rage.  Tons of tutorials on You Tube.  So, I had to try my hand at creating them.  This first picture from the thumbnail on my Kodak Easy Share download page, almost looked like water lilies in a pond.  But, they are pansy's. Little hearts cut out with the edges turned up, inking a bit to give a cast of color.

Next up are Paper Roses!  Only if I could combine technology and put in the 1973 Marie Osmond hit serenading you as you look at this post.  Although these are quite cute, a little involved to make... I don't think they'd work on a card you were trying to send through the mail.  Some of these card tutorials with the big 'stuff' hanging off... you never see them trying to stuff it in an envelope. Added glitter to give it a bit of bling and dimension.

And finally, a Just a note card with a grunge {Grunge is about realism, organic shapes and distorted patterns, sometimes beautiful, sometimes aged and ugly. I think a good analogy to explain Grunge is the way jeans are marketed. The spotless, clean jeans cost 50$. The damaged, bleached, torn jeans cost 150$.} flower on it.The inked edges of the paper and the slightly worn/torn look to it.

Okay, enough with the clouds... it's still humid and hot.... why don't you just rain!!!!!
