altering your stamped flowers

IMG_6492
Hello Friends, How was your weekend? It seems like it's been forever since I have created something for the Penny Black blog. Today I wanted to share with you a easy way to make a stamped flower smaller. It's fun to alter the same flower so they can be clustered together.

Notice the bottom flower is thicker too?
Before we get started on the the flowers you might notice the fun loopy background? I used this stamp set with some distress ink from Penny Black. Before distressing I embossed the squiggle on white card stock with clear powder embossing powder.
(All supplies will be linked at the bottom.)

I stamped two flowers & colored them with Copic markers and I added lots of white dots.

After trimming my flower I cut it apart in sections that were determined by the flowers design.

Attach the petals to the center of the flower with Glossy Accents. This is how you can play with the length of the petals depending on where you place the petals down to be glued.

Playing with the petals by bending them up or intertwining the petals gives you a nice look on your card. If you look closely at my finished flowers you will see more color on them. I added some distress ink to the petals for more color. What do you think of the purple fern?? I was feeling a little more artsy today especially with the two stamped ferns in the middle of my card. Usually I don't give a pop of color that doesn't relate to anything else on the card. The die is from Spellbinders Grand collection and I use it often in my Cuttlebug.Thank You for your visit! Hugs, Kathy
