Hello, Crafty Makers!
I created a carnation using brown shipping paper! I have a ton of this stuff. It helps me craft, and it is helpful in our compost! Twelve years ago, I started making these little carnations when flower dies were not as ubiquitous. I still prefer them to die-cut flowers with white borders.
Now that I have decided to get back to the basics of card making, I am revisiting basic techniques that don't require purchasing anything. Metal dies were already way too expensive for my taste, and with the tariffs on aluminum and other metals reinstated, I can only imagine.
BROWN PAPER CARNATION
My favorite part of creating the mixed-media background for these flowers is incorporating colors from the other design elements on the project. I also enjoy creating unexpected textures.
My Favorite skin care product is packaged in these cute containers. I am repurposing this one to give my daughter a couple of small bottles of Essential Oils to use on her Wool Dryer Balls.
