I just want to share a layout I made for Webster's Pages which was published in Scrapbooking M.M. I love this magazine. The layouts they publish are technique driven and they provide step by step instructions. It's a Swedish magazine though. If only there was an English version I would be first in line to subscribe.
Here are some pictures that will give you an idea on how I made the flowers...
You will need a circular chipboard. Put some tacky glue on the chipboard and start folding and adhering the canvas to it. Top the flower with a brad or a button.
A strip of soft lace will work beautifully with this. All you need to do is gather the lace and secure the center with a wire. It will spread out on its own but you can help fix the shape by gently pulling the lace to the direction you want it to go. Again top it with a brad or a button.
These buds are my favorite. The wire will secure the canvas to the stamen. To hide the wire, just cover it with some velvet ribbon.
Have a great day!
