Waterlillies and Dogwoods

A few weeks ago I had a “stamp play date” with my adopted up-line Sharon Field. We followed a magnolia flower tutorial by thescrapinmama. I didn’t like how mine turned out and was a bit frustrated. After pondering it for a while I thought that it looked more like a water lily than a magnolia. So I changed the color and I sponged the centers instead of the edges. I punched the required amount but after trying to do the tutorial from memory, I added fewer petals to achieve the look of a water lily. I used orange beads from the bead duo for the center.

The extra petals that I had punched were lying there and I thought that it kind of looked like a dogwood blossom. So I punched a 3/4 inch circle and added four petals. I used the orange beads again for the center. I free handed the veins of the leaves with a stylus.

 

I used all of the above flowers for box toppers. The dogwoods could easily used be used for a scrapbook page because it isn't as dimensional as the water lily/magnolia.
