Pressed Flower Inspiration






I love flowers and I love spring. One of my favorite things to do is collect and press the pretty flowers in my yard and surrounding area. So I thought'd I'd do a pressed flower/stampin up mashup :)

I placed the flowers in the pages of a large book, sandwiched it between more large books, and let dry for 2 weeks. I glued the flowers to the paper with Aleene's Tacky glue and then covered with Crystal Effects to protect it.

The paper that the pressed flowers are matted on is homemade paper as well. So pressed flower glued to homemade paper, accented with honeycomb embossing folder, banner blast, and say it with scripture sets. The inside of the card has the rest of the Matthew 19:26 stamp - With God all things are possible.
