....Handmade Flowers...

Hey Everyone,

How is your Friday going? and I am sure you are all set for the weekend. Another Friday, another PCC challenge..yeahh!! This week you need to create a Card, LO or a craft project using only Red, Black and White. You can go by any theme that you like. Simple and fun.. right?? :)

So, going by the theme, I created a card set with some handmade flowers.

I made these flowers by following this wonderful tutorial here. {But, with a little twist :D}. I have not used any distress inks or glimmer mists; instead I used acrylic paints to color the flowers. I got plenty of them with me of almost in every color. So I used Cardinal Red with a dash of Metallic Pearl White, mix them for different colors and for some added glimmer. Dab my cut out flowers with colors, shape them, dry them, sponge some distress ink to the edges and viola!! they turned out pretty lovely :).

Here is my set of card created with these flowers:

 With some swirl stamping and add of rhinestones, they are made to suit every occasion.
PS - I have not cut out the petals for red color flower and shaped them as a whole circle. For the pink one, petals are cut and folded to give some different shape. I added pink color pearls (from my stash) for the center of the flower and stickle some sparkles on it.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
