Welcome Wisteria Blog Hoppers!

Greetings, Blog Hoppers!

It's time for the monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop, featuring the Wisteria Collection! The Hop starts at the Club Scrap Creates Blog, so be sure not to miss anything.

Handmade paper flower from Wisteria Paper 
The papers are so elegant and I'm in love with the color scheme, so I made a 12x12 layout featuring a few handmade paper flowers.

12x12 Layout created with Club Scrap's Wisteria Collection

Since the collection has a floral theme, and my featured photos we taken in a garden, the homemade flowers make a good embellishment.

A little bit about making these flowers:

Tear flower shapes in descending sizes from paper scraps. Curl up the edges.

Stack the layers and adhere with a dab of glue.
Don't forget to tear out some leaves.

Apply ink with foam applicator for a vintage dried-flower look.

Attach to the layout with additional dabs of glue.
Enjoy the rest of the Wisteria Hop!

Next, go check out what great things Cathy is up to at The Artful Gamut!

Wishing you a creative day, and thanks for stopping.
Kay

  8. I really like the layout and how it features a good number of photos and still doesn't cover up the paper designs for the most part!

  15. I realize this isn't anything new, but sometimes it's fun to revisit the old fun stuff some of us have done before - however I've never made these little flowers with Wisteria Paper!
