It is the 25th of the month and tonight is the Papertrey Ink blog hop. This is such a fun way to see many fabulous projects using the PTI products and gain so much inspiration. This month the challenge was to create something with handmade flower embellishments. I had every intention of finally putting some fabric through my big shot and die cut some fabulous fabric flowers. Well, it didn't quite happen for me. I am not a seamstress, or a quilter, so I don't have pieces of fabric just laying around. I guess time just got away from me. So, I went with the next best thing for me and that is ribbon! Yes, I created these beautiful ribbon flowers by simply stitching some linen thread up one side of th
e ribbon and then gently pulling the thread to create a gathered look. Once you reach the end of the strip of ribbon you just connect the two ends and find a way to "conceal" the middle. I added the buttons to finish the flowers off.This project allowed me to pull out one of my all time favorite PTI sets, Beautiful Blooms. There are so many flower combinations in this set and I love the sentiments that are included. This sentiment is one of my most used when I use this set. Check out the color combo! I just adore the Ripe Avocado and Ocean Tides colors and I discovered how great they look with kraft, chocolate, and a touch of Summer Sunrise! Thanks for stopping by. I can't wait to see all the creativity that the rest of the girls come up with that play along tonight.
Hugs,
