Simply Flowers

Did I mention how much I enjoy swaps?!  Well, I love swapping with crafty, talented peeps....and here's one of the swaps on A Lil Scrap of Heaven.
We had to make three flowers, fully decorated with feathers, leaves...the works.  And I have to say that I enjoyed making these.  I just hope the girls like them too. Ü
I made three different types of flowers.  The size is perfect to use on any project.  I have a project for one of these lovelies, so keep an eye out for that post. Ü

For this flower, I used Magnolia Doohickeys Dies.  I love the details on the dies.  The pearls and crystals I took from the candle holder from Michaels.  I've used them on so many projects and still have a lot left. The flowers are inked with vintage photo distress ink.
Supplies~ 
pp: Bailey{K&Company}
punches: classic butterfly{MS}; Doohickey dies doily flowers, peony petals, poinsettia{all from Magnolia}
misc:  white half back pearls

This black and white themed flower is made from satin fabric.  I used the Loopy Bloom die and layered the pieces on top of each other.  Then for the center, I made this pearl flowers following a YouTube tutorial.
Supplies~
dies: loopy bloom, leafy flourish, fancy flourish{all MFT}
skeleton leaves{I Am Roses}
misc: black satin fabric, handmade stick pin

 And this little beauty I made using Prima flowers.  I was lucky to find matching pearls for the center. The lace fabric flower added for a touch of vintage.  Then layered with pink feathers, pearl trim, and leaf die I inked with tumble glass distress ink.
