Mini Flower Card

The card in itself, is not miniature, but the flowers certainly are! Read all about them here. The flowers were made for another challenge, but I decided to incorporate it into a card for a few other challenges this week (I am finally getting better at combining challenges in one project, which cuts down on the amount of time I spend thinking 'outside my normal box' of creativity).

Challenges This Card Qualifies For:
2 Sisters Challenge-Sketch
Sentimental Sundays-Words to Inspire

Tiny Roses

Two challenges this week made me really think, were out of my element, and made me try something completely different. All Sorts Challenge was to make something less than 3 inches in size. My thoughts: Really?! That small, whatever can I do that is that small? One Stop Craft Challenge also took me by surprise with- not a card. You mean I have to be ultra creative and tiny?! Take a look at what I did.The papers are just scraps I had lying around. The stems are rolled ribbon and the leaves, cut lace. I find it is best to hold them together (and to hold the rolled ribbon) with hot glue-but be careful, it is hot! These measure about 2 1/2 inches tall and less than an inch wide-I managed to keep them small!

Paper roses for Rosie

I saw some paper roses awhile back that someone made and I loved them. However, I forgot to bookmark the page, and thus could not find it when I came across this beauty, Rosie. She is from MamiDoodles, and is a darling little one. Since I couldn't find the paper roses I liked, I went on a search for how to make paper roses. The one's at the site I did find are pretty, but I didn't like how it turned out for this card. If there was a way to make them not stick up so much, it would have worked better. I didn't like how it looked lying on the side.
