Inspired by all the lovely paper flowers I’ve been seeing online lately, as well as some gorgeous Scandinavian floral designs, I decided to try my hand at it. I thought I’d create a picture of a heart using different flowers and leaves in black and purple tones.
I used my Cricut machine to cut out some their images, used a couple flower punches I had on hand, and also created my own leaves. I layered some of my paper flowers, and gave the petals some curl for a little texture. I also added a few rhinestones to the centers for some added sparkle.
It’s was actually kind of fun creating this picture. The curling of the petals is a little tedious, and I think I’ll have to see if I can find a faster way to do it, but I think one could create a lot of different designs this way. You could also create some really pretty art for a girl’s bedroom or nursery, using colors that match the decor. I think I’m going to try framing mine, although a shadow box would work best. I’ll post another picture if I do manage to get one framed!
