Make it Monday Challenge #61

This week on  Nichole Heady's Blog  for Papertry Ink , the Challenge was to make a flower using a non-flower die. I had so much fun going through all my Papertrey Ink dies, trying to see which one had  the best possibility for making a flower. Then it came to me, I love making rolled flowers from plain circle punches, how fun to make a rolled flower from one of  the Papertrey Inks Doily Detail dies. So I cut out a few and started to play and I am really happy with how they turned out, so delicate and a little different from the traditional rolled flowers.

I got a head start on my Mother's Day cards with this one, but with these beautiful papers from Bo Bunny-Country Garden, they just said "Mom" to me. The stamps are from the Daily Design set from Papertrey Ink, I used their Dark Chocolate ink and button twine also. The seam binding I colored with some glimmer mist  and added some Star Dust Stickles to the flowers.

 Here is a photo of how my Doily die cut went from plain to an adorable flower, in three easy steps. The trick is to roll the flowers from the inside-out, this keeps the lacey details on the outside of your flowers. You can cut out portions of the middle to make your flowers smaller, like the yellow flower bud on my card.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day.
