Vellum Cornflowers

Splitcoaststampers Ways To Use It challenge this week was to use vellum on our project.  I decided to try my hand at making a floral spray with vellum flowers.  I made the flowers using the Martha Stewart Cornflower and Hydrangea punches. I thought I would show a couple pictures to show how I put these together. I used pink paper for the photos so the flower would show up better than the vellum on my project.

Punch out several embossed cornflowers. Using deckle or postage scissors cut the petals of one flower to shorten for an inner layer of the flower. Cut the petals of another flower almost totally off so there is just a hint of petals around the circle. Punch out three or four little hydrangea petals and one tiny flower. Round and form the flower sections using a stylus (see punched flower tutorial) and mouse pad or piercing mat.

Attach the first three large cornflowers offsetting each layer a little so the petals are not perfectly lined up.  Add the first cut down flower and then the small circular flower and finish layering with the tiny flowers.

Here is the project I made for the vellum challenge. I love how it turned out.  The white embossed vellum really looks puffy with all the layers. Check out my multi loop bow  tutorial if you would like to know how I made my bow.

I hope you have a great weekend.  I know I am sure looking forward to good restful days off.

  1. I love your vellum flowers!! I’ve seen that MS punch at my local Michaels stores and never really cared for it, but you are changing my mind! LOL!! You’ve really created some pretty flowers with it by layering and mixing in the hydrangea punches as well.

  2. Kitty, no one does flowers like you. Every one is used in a unique way and your cards are stunning. I look forward to receiving your e-mails to see a new surprise. Thank you for sharing.

  3. Wow, I love these flowers. Must check my punch stash to see if I have that punch before I run out and buy another!

  4. Kitty, this is jut gorgeous, as are all your creations. I’ve been following how you make your little flowers and want to try some of my own. When you mention the hydrangea punch, I notice MS has two: one that has three little flowers on the punch and one with a single flower. I also was unable to find the five petal flower punch that you used. Could you tell me which hydrangea punch you worked with? THanks so much. Keep on creating…..your fans are loving it!
