A few weeks ago Wipso and I were lucky enough to win the Cuttlebug in Crafty Dawn's give-away.
As we are not paper crafters we didn't already have dies or embossing folders to play with - until yesterday that is.
I have treated us to the Tim Holtz tattered flowers die and have spent time playing with it so that I can share my ideas and experiments with Wipso on funday Monday.
So - here we are folks....
Now, I know there are lots of very talented card makers out there, so ignore the simplicity of the design.
I just wanted to see how the die performed on fabric and decided these little cards would be useful.
Of course we crafters always have a few embellishments in a drawer somewhere so I managed to find a few brads etc to trim them up with.
Then.....
I had to have a go at heat distressing some of the chiffon and voile flowers that I produced.
I used my little tool that looks like a little hairdrier - it worked a treat.
Once I had tweaked them up with a few beads and brooch backs, I decided they were pretty enough to sell.
They will go into the blog shop along with some lovely brooches Wipso made last week.
Now I am looking for new ideas to use my fabric flowers.
What do you think?

they look really pretty love the greenish ones and blue too
I love the chiffon flowers. They would be great on a hat or bag, or as a trim to hold back a curtain. Of course, sewn on a scrunchy or slide they would have a Hawaiian feel in your hair...
Ooh these are very sweet - I love them!
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate it xx
All gorgeous, but the distressed chiffon are WELL fabulous....!!!
I can see fun ahead of us :-)
