Technique Corner: upgrading flowers

This is a layout with one of my favorite photos of my DH and son. I took this photo when my son was a few weeks old and I love it because it shows how calm and quiet he is and that he really enjoys being in his father's arms.

The flowers in the LO were created from scraps of paper. Here are a few tips for upgrading flowers you create yourself:

·         Create layers to the flower by adhering the same shape in different sizes. It can be circles, flower         shapes, ovals, hearts etc.
·         Give the flower dimension by adhering the layers with 3D foam tape.
·         Distress and ink the edges of the flower.
·         Create a stem from a strip of paper. Add leaves to the stem.
·         Add dimension to the stem by twisting the strip.
·         Add an interesting center to the flower such as a button, bling or a sticker.
