Got 5 minutes? Come Play with Us!

“They are not long, the days of wine and roses. Out of a 

misty dream, our path emerges for a while, then closes, 

within a dream.” 

― Ernest Dowson, The Poems and Prose of Ernest Dowson

5 minutes is all you need  to create these darling rosebuds or half open roses. Think how many you can create in an hour and ohh.. used on a  project of beauty they  will be admired, like a rose should. Knowing these were made by you, yes that makes these roses so much sweeter.

I hope you enjoy the video I have created for you using the Tattered Floret die  by Heartfelt Creations. 

With the above and last weeks tutorial you are so ready to create your own rose garden! Now that we  have making some flowers under our  wings  ...  the next video you will be using these to create a card  - stay tuned .... 

WCYDW - The Rose ( a flower tutorial)

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.Clive Bell

It has been awhile since we have brought you a flower tutorial - so I thought I would share with you all one of my favorite flowers to make and the best part they take less than  5 minutes to make! You  need nothing special for this tutorial - but the creative possibilities of embellishing and altering these flowers are endless and would love to see how you improve and expand on these! 

The finished product ! 

Hope  you enjoyed and they really are  1-2-3 easy but ohhh soo pretty ! 

Negative Space

Forum Challenge that Shona is  hosting this month  is about negative space - so  I locked up  my embellishments and enjoyed doing  something a little out of my comfort zone .
