With all the flower shows that HWNSNBP and I have been attending recently I was inspired to use my Blossom Party Die for this week's throw away.
Here's the start of the first project.............
After die cutting the flower pieces, I used my paper piercer to make a hole big enough for the brad to go through. I cut the ribbon to approx. 9" and tapered each end. The flower was added to the ribbon using the brad. You can't see the back and I forgot to take a picture, but the ribbon is folded over the brad in the back and glued down.
The second project revolves around some clothing tags I recently saved. I thought these tags from Kohl's could be made over to something useful.
I used a regular white brad to put the blossom together and adhered it to the front with a large sticky dot.
On the back I stamped the floral image from Vintage Vogue in Bordering Blue. Then I stamped the bird tag from Garden From the Heart also in Bordering Blue, colored the bird and highlighted the edges.
Now I have a cute little package tie-on ready.
I know I've used the denim before but it just seemed to be perfect for today's projects.
What do you think?
Hard to say which is nicer - the cheerful country feel of the bookmark (?) with that great splash of red, or the more elegant sophistication of the white-centred gift-tag blossom.
