This months competition is focusing on flowers and what we can do with them. The winning prize will be a £35 Poppicrafts voucher to spend on whatever you like. £35, here at Poppicrafts goes a long way, so what would you choose? Maybe 500 blooms, or well in excess of 100 yards of ribbons, or over 1400 buttons. Well, whatever you choose it will certainly stock up on some serious stash. So, what can you do with papers flowers? I had a little play and this is what I came up with. I hope it whets your appetite. Dry Embossing: Run them through your embossing folder, for a textured effect. 
Mount them on Chipboard Our 4 pack chipboard flowers are the exact same shape and size of our large blooms to go, making it so easy to just glue them straight on top - no sanding or filing the edges!!! For a more interesting effect, why not stamp them too. Stamp them up Get your rubber stamps out and have a play... I used Autumn leaves imaginisce stamps with black stazon ink. Stamp and colour I stamped them up and just coloured in, using a white gel pen and sakura gelly roll pen Ink the edges I used Tim Holtz distress inks
Draw round the edges. I used sakura gelly roll pens And here are a few cards.... Add sentiments or lettering to the centres.
Use Liquid Pearls.
Doodle on them
Bling em' up... I covered mine with glossy accents and then went mad with the glamour dust And here are Saras fantastic more unconventional ideas:
Cut them down and make some cute little wings.
Cut them into a Christmas tree: Make a little skirt: Or umbrella: Right, so how do you enter??? Well, all you need to do is make a card or crafty item using paper flowers in an unusual or decorative way and pop it in the post to me - and thats it - easy eh!! You can enter as many times as you wish. Dont forget to put your name and email address in there too. The winner will be chosen and announced on the website and blog. Cards will also be put onto the customer gallery. All cards that are received will then go to the "Womens Institute" in my local village.
