I did mention that Kanzashi was addictive right? I just love making these little flowers! Well, I had a look through my stash of fabric and rediscovered this cute blue and pink little floral print cotton fabric, sooo sweet and perfect for my Kanzashi flower! I decided to keep the card pretty CAS, as simple as possible for me anyway.! I love this color combo, nice n' fresh!
So, I made a little easel card for this one, not too much going on I wanted the Kanzashi flower to speak for itself. I picked out the dusky pink color in the fabric and luckily I had some matching ribbon and a few buttons in the right color.
Just a quick sentiment from Anna Griffin stamped in Rose Bud. I was surprised how well the fabric glued down to the card, I did iron it first though. Cutting straight lines in fabric was my biggest challenge!
It's much easier to get a crisp finish by using a cotton fabric and by ironing some of the folds. I did back the flower with a circle of fabric and a circle of card on top of that to give it a bit more strength. It also makes it easier to glue to the card.
Supplies:
Cardstock/ Paper: White card, blue paper
Stamps: Anna Griffin (sentiment) In the Garden
Ink: Memento Rose Bud
Other: Blue & pink roses cotton fabric, dusky rose grosgrain ribbon, dusky rose satin ribbon, foam pads, glue, double sided tape, natural twine, buttons, needle & thread, sewing machine, pins.
Love the softness of this and especially the flower!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful--what an amazingly precise job you did on the flower! It won't really fit in an envelope, will it?
ReplyDeleteI got nice crisp lines with the help of an iron! Nope, not a normal envelope, a jiffy bag or a little box!
