Digi Doodles Guest Designer for July - DIY Flowers

Good news! I've been asked to be the Guest Designer for the remainer of July over at Digi Doodles Shop's Best Challenges! How fab is that! And the challenge for this week is:

Make Your Own Flowers

I've recently found my stash of paper raffia in the cupboard whilst looking for something else and with around 10 colours in the pack and at 99p for 5 metres of each I don't know why I've not used it sooner! So I decided to try my hand at some flowers! They've not quite turned out as neat as I expected but that is probably because I kept getting my finger stuck in the middle when I was winding the strip around it!


The papers are from Funky Hand - Rainbow Polkadots download which is a really fab download as its got, well, all the colours of the rainbow in both positive and negative so it will match any project! I've layered onto black card and inked edges. The lace is actually underware lace and I got it from the scrap store ages ago!

Good luck with the challenge - go to the challenge blog for more details!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Ladybug Crafts Inks: Summer Birthday's
Shopping Our Stash: In With The Old or In With The New (very old I'm going for!)
Papertake Weekly: Hot Colours
Tuesday Trio: Sketch and Lace
Happileigh Scrapping: Critters
Pollycraft Challenge: The Great Outdoors
Stamps R Us Challenge: Through The Garden Gate

    what a cute card! and so clever to use the raffia for your flowers. I haven't used that in years, but it makes for wonderful texture.

    have a great day!
