These flowers are TOTALLY AWESOME and I'm glad I put a bunch aside for myself in all my favourite colours!
This time around I used paint to embellish the plain petal...to match the smallest petals in the bunch that have cute little polka dots on them!!
No step-by-step, as it is super easy to do! Just find some paint that matches the colours you want to use in your layout (for me it was blue and brown), apply some to a paintbrush and dot it on the petal! I used the bottom of the paintbrush handle to get the mini-circles. I just dipped it in paint, then dabbed it on the petal in a random pattern. It probably won't be perfect, but it gives it a nice whimsical look!
And because I was on my last petals, and I needed more circles for my layout, I painted some Tim Holtz Grungeboard circles the same blue colour of the original fabric petals, and mimicked the paint job I had just given them. One chipboard circle got blue dots, and the other got brown dots.
Super fun! I hope you enjoyed my Two Flowers Four Ways...and if you have a fifth, sixth or seventh way to use these versatile fabric petals LET US KNOW in the comments, or better yet, post the finished layout on your Blog and link it back here!Join us again this Thursday for the next Techneek of the Week and then Saturday for the Project of the Week...I wonder what Juli has in store for us!?!
