EASY Flower that YOU can Make Tutorial

First you will need your very basic and simple supplies

-Coffee Filter

-Brads

-Scissors

-Ink pad, spray or both

----If you want to make your own spray, you can check out my tutorial here... http://sweetlyscrappedart.blogspot.com/p/diy-ideas.html ----

Then you will cut your coffee filters into circles! NO NEED To be precise! I would just make sure that you cut them different sizes. 

Layer the pieces by size. Smallest on the top as shown in these two pictures. I pushed the brad through the center of the filter. I didn't punch holes first or anything like that. 

Now you can scrunch up your flower. I did mine each layer at a time. I scrunched up the first layer, then the next.... all the way to the bottom

This is my homemade glimmer mist. I've repurposed one of those travel sized body sprays from Calgon. 

Then you will pounce, dab and if you'd like more color, sweeeeeeeeep :) your ink pad onto the flower....

I've done it here..... Then I added a little more.... 

But I wanted alot of POP and color so I've used the glimmer mist too! 

My flower is about 2 inches large because that's the largest that I cut the circle. So we can make like 100 flowers for a BUCK! Go to the dollar store and pick up a package! Line them all up & spray them down! lol. Great to keep on hand for those layouts. I know I personally create a bunch of flowers at a time because it can be very time consuming to stop in the middle of a project to create flowers. Alot of times I will create them in neutral shades & spice them up later as I am working so they will coordinate. 

If you create one I would love to see it! Post it on my wall at http://www.facebook.com/sweetlyscrapped

Please feel free to share! Tweet! Stumble! It's fine. I love sharing tutorials with you all that I come across too! 

Home Sweet Home Premade Double Page Layout

ON THE FIRST PAGE there is a border at the top and bottom and I have added two 8 inch doilies to each page. There are two photo mats on this page. Above the first page is a banner style runner and it also starts the title with the letters H O M E and they're lifted off the page. Below the first photo mat are adornments such as handmade flowers painted swirls, a hand pieced embellishment and a flocked silhouette. On the second photo mat, above, is the little bear and see how they're holding the heart? That is also lifted of the page. Your photos will slide under all the embellishments. Below the second photo mat are more flowers and flourishes. 

ON THE SECOND PAGE there are also two more photo mats and also a little pocket with 4 pull out tags. On the first photo mat there are pretty flowers, painted pearl cents, flourishes and two more flocked family inspired silhouettes. Below the first photo mat is a lined journaling card that has been given the hand aging process and next to it is a paper pieced little house. The little pocket is above the second photo mat. Below the second photo mat are more flowers, flourishes and the rest of the title that reads H O M E.

I Decided to finally do it! I've been wanting to. I think I am going to do another one soon, because I already have a thought on a different way to do this!
