Two simple floral cards

Before I write about these cards, I should write a simple caveat- they are easy to make but are a little time consuming!

Remember my target to make 10 cards- well I am up to 6 I think!

The aforementioned envelopes are the materials used for these cards- I got my full-worth out of those!
A floral punch is the ultimate crafting essential for my card style- I have used these workhorses prolifically over the years. I have 4 sizes.
The large flowers here are formed by overlapping 3 of each colour flowers and then I used an old biro on a piece of foam to rub over the petals to make them curl and stand out.  Glue and some poundland gems for the centre. I prefer to leave my cards without a greeting in order to maximise their versatility if they are not made with a particular individual in mind.
The base card of this was scrap- from a sample card set. The flowers are punched from a smaller punch - arranging and sticking them was what took so long.  The centres are from a silver Sharpie pen.

Card-making is for even the most self-confessed inartistic individual- you just have to be able to stick and punch shapes at the most basic level.  Why not give it a go?

  4. Being a flower girl at heart, I am loving both cards. What I love too is that you have been mainly using scrap materials. I used to make cards now and then in the past, but sadly I no longer have the time ... xxx
