Summer & flowers

Hi all, Gudrun here.  It is finally summer in norway, the sun is shining allmost all day and all night – and the norwegians enjoy the long, beautiful days outside.

I have also had fun making some easy, cute flowers. This is a small project is  ideal for outdoor-scrapping.

I have used scraps of some colorful, happy papers and the wonderful stamp-set “He loves me”. This is absolutely one of my favourite sets    I used buttons for the center, a little piece of silvery thread and a wooden stick.

I added three leaves at a time on my acrylic block, and stamped on my paperscraps. I wanted to make 6 leaves of each color – so my flower was made with the same paper, but each leaf can have different papers and colors if you like.

Cut the stamped leaves from the colorful paper.

I glued all the 6 leaves together in the middle of the flower.

I made a little hole in the center of the flower with a needle, and secured the wooden stick with a little bit glue.

I slightly folded the leaves a little bit to make them look more “natural”.

I digged in to my favourite buttons and found a large button that would fit as a center on my flower.

I glued the button to the center of my flower.

VOILA! the cutest flowers to  decorate your summer-table in a vase with other flowers, or a bunch of them in a oasis.

Have a wonderful summer – and happy scrapping!
