Flower Power

I am up later than usual tonight since I am back in school and have a ton of homework to do so decided to take a break for tonight and enjoy a nice glass of Rhubarb wine that my sister-in-law (Port Townsend, WA) sent to my son Justin (Justin if you are reading this Dad and I are drinking your wine) :).

I saw this flower idea in one of my magazines I got this past week so had to try it out. The paper and button are BasicGrey "Wisteria" and the flower was created using tissue paper and glimmer mist. Since I have never used this stuff and didn't own any I had to take a trip to Anchor Paper today and pick some up. I got the "fully purple" and "gold". You can't tell by the card but after I did the purple I added the gold and boy does it create a very beautiful flower. I distressed the edges of the paper with Ranger distress Antique Linen. (the flower in this picture looks blue it is really a deep purple).

I don't know about you, but I am loving these big flowers today.

Have a good evening!
