April Mark's Finest Paper Blog Hop- Day 4- Garden Fairies and coffee filter sweet peas tutorial

To make the sweet peas on my card. I started with an acetate report folder that I scribbled on with markers.

I sprayed the scribbles with water. I smooshed the folder together.

I punched flowers out of coffee filters.

I placed the coffee filters on the puddles of inky water.

I folded the flowers in half.

I folded them in half again.

I let the flowers dry.

My coffee filter flowers.

I punched little green flowers out of card stock, using my MS punch.

I used an embossing stylus to push the center down. I place a piece of craft foam underneath.

I looks kinda like a little green bowl.

I dipped the end of the flower in glue.

I put the coffee filter flower into the "Bowl"

Close up of the Garden Fairies butterfly. I water colored the butterfly.
