Tissue Flowers

A while back, Lisa Pace had a great tutorial for some tissue flowers made from some old sewing patterns and flower dies. I loved the idea, so I've been making some of my own! I don't have the flower dies, so I've been handcutting circles. To make the flowers on this project, I also spritzed them with Sherbet Glimmer Mist and added some glitter. (I use a spray adhesive for that.) I've made these flowers for several other projects and love how they turned out.






I used Webster's paper on here. I also used some Tattered Angels chipboard that was spritzed with Sherbet and Meadow Glimmer Mists. All in all, it will be a fun Teacher Valentine set.

Speaking of fun, there will be lots of fun at Label Tulip this month. They are turning 2 and Cathy has lots up her sleeve. Here's your invitation!



Hope to see you there!
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

    Super cute. Those flowers have so much dimension. Ok, you have sold me I REALLY need to get some glimmer mist. I have seen so many projects with it and have been holding off for so long, I don't think I can anymore.

    I love those flowers!
    I have been making some with recycled tissue from gifts, but it never occured to me to use my 100's of patterns that are just sitting in a box somewhere. Thanks for the great idea!
