I'm here with the tutorial for that little flower I made in my previous post. I think it looks like a carnation, so we'll go with that! They're pretty easy to make. I used the Sizzix Tattered Florals die by Tim Holtz for the outer petals and the center is a fringed strip.
So I spent today figuring it out! It's harder than I thought, the shooting part!! So my video is made up of clips, joined together! I played around with iMovie a bit so I think it all flows fairly smoothly although when I exported it, the text at the beginning and end went a little blurry but I think we can get over that!
Just in case you're wondering the finished size of these flowers is 1 3/4" or 45mm wide. I can't wait to play with these more! I was going to add music instead of me talking (I can't stand to hear my own voice) but then I thought I prefer looking at videos with people talking rather than music so I decided to be brave! Ok here's the video. Sorry about the lighting etc. Go easy on me! I tried! : )
EEK, Clare! I love hearing your VOICE! What a genius flower, I think it could double as a daffodil, too! Thanks for sharing the cool details to make the flower so realisic! Made me laugh at the end when you calmly said "And that's it" and were holding this stunning flower in your hand, hee! I hope when I try this that I am not saying other words at the end of my project, giggle :) :) :)!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant first video, Clare...well done!!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!beautiful!!!thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou did a GREAT job. Glad you talked through it. Will have to do some. Since I don't have the TH Die, I will have to use something from my Cricut carts. I think I already have some similar already cut out, so would just have to do the crimping and the center.
ReplyDeleteAgain, great job, please make more!

ReplyDeleteThanks Oksana, I used a 280gsm weight cardstock but I have used a lighter 220gsm also that works just as well.
