Flowers for Your Birthday

Here is a tag I made for my niece's birthday.

I just added a pocket in the back so hold her gift.

 

 

Spray inks, heavy gesso, paper scraps.

 

The flower is made of wire and deli paper.

I'm going to make many more.

I learned how to create the flower from online workshop from Balzer Designs called Getting Started with Deli Paper.

Its a fun class and Julie  has me hooked on deli paper.

 

Do you know what the middle of the flower is made from?

 

 

It's PAINT!

When you open up a tube of Liquitex Acrylic paint there is dry glue around the opening. I now keep them to add to projects. My god-daughter used them in a painting and loved the idea.

The leaves and stem are made from paper towels. I added gel medium to the leaves so they become stiffer and easy to mold.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
