Papertrey May blog hop challenge

Hi and thanks for visiting :)  The challenge this month is to create something featuring flowers. I decided to make a rolled flower embellishment from felt. Melon berry felt to be precise.  Here's what I came up with:

And here's a close up of the flower.  I cut a circle from the felt, then cut round the circle as Maile shows in this post (scroll down a bit).  I then rolled it up and secured it with fabric glue.  Two stick pins act as 'leaves':

I've been redecorating

Yes, you are in the right place.  I was getting a bit tired of the old layout and it seemed like time for a change of decor! 

I love DCWV's Mariposa stack. Here's a super simple card (no stamping!) which uses one of the gorgeous patterns  from the stack. I added a bit of depth by fussy cutting the large butterfly and adhering it with a glue dot in the middle, so I could pop the wings up:

Felt flower

I took Heather Nichols' advice a while ago and pre-made some embellishmentsto use on projects, then couldn't think of how to use them. So this flower has been sitting around for ages.  Finally decided to make this simple card and combine it with a stamp from Fancy Flourishes.
