The theme for this month is Flowers for Summer, please use handmade paper flowers (stamped or cut) on your project and you can make any kind of project!!!
I created an out of page project using an 8" embroidery hoop. For this I covered the base with a circle paper that I cut from Alton 200 paper. Then I stamped some different flowers over Gypsy Road 100 paper and Joy Ride 400 paper using the PowderPuff Chalk Inks in colors like Hydragea, Fuchsia and Orange Slice. Then I cut the flowers using two different punches.
Before I pasted the stamped flowers, I pasted some green flowers and a border that came from the Joy Ride Paper Die Cuts to create a contrast of colors. All my flowers were pasted with dimensionals to get different heights. On the center of each flower I added a sequin to get a tone on tone focal point.
I used some tropical instant photos of my daughter and a friend for this project and as a message I added a Chipboard Die Cut from Catalina Island Collection, perfectly for this occasion. My embroidery hoop turned out beautiful and I used die cut flowers and stamped flowers. Now it is your turn to participate in our Friday Challenge for June. Quick Quotes Products Used:

Handmade flowers is a great challenge theme!!! Thanks for the opportunity to stretch my crafting muscles by making a flower instead of plastering a pre-made one on. :)
The stamped flowers on that clever and creative hoop project are lovely. I like the blingy centers!!!
