Patterned Paper Flowers - and another giveaway!

Hello - this is Brenda Carpenter, DT Coordinator for the Scrap-Room! I wanted to share with you how I created the flowers from the Basic Grey Offbeat paper - as seen in this layout-

1. Cut out 2 groups of four petals from the Offbeat patterned paper, leaving a small brown outline around each petal.

2. Layer these petals to form a flower.

3. Use a brad to secure the flower together and adhere to the layout.

Now, I have some FUN flower stamps to giveaway!

*Making Memories “FLOWERS” 11-piece Clear Stamp Set (includes Free Storage Folder)
*Making Memories Large Acrylic Block

Please leave a comment and let me know what your favorite flower is to be entered into the drawing. You have until the end of Sunday(October 5th) to enter.

**All prizes given away on our ScrapRoom Blog will ship out with our next monthly mailing. If you are a ScrapRoom Café Club member, then your prize will ship along with your next monthly kit shipment. If you are NOT a ScrapRoom member receiving our monthly kits, you are still eligible to win a prize, but you will be responsible for actual shipping charges.

Thanks for visiting - and check back tomorrow for some Fall photo tips! - Brenda

******************************************

Congratulations to andipan for winning the MM flower stamps and block!

    Thanks for sharing the tips! Cute!

    I can only pick one favorite?! If I must, it would be my Yellow English Roses. Smells oh, so sweet and just gorgeous!

    And scrappy ones would be the larger, solid colored Prima Essentials in the Fall colors.

    Brenda, I really love your work. I love the idea of the flower layering. As for my favorite flower, it has to be Lipstick Roses. That's why they had to be in my wedding bouquet!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Brenda - I just love all the little details that you bring to your pages. We lose so much of that online. I didn't pay close enough attention to the papers in that BG kit to realize that you made those flowers that way. I thought it was a premade element. So fun!

    Just had to say that......but don't count me in for the drawing. ;)

    It is so fun to find out how do make patterned paper work in many different ways, and without too many steps too.

    I'm not a huge flower person because my allergies make enjoying the real ones a little problematic. I love the look of the wild sunflowers along the side of the road though.
