Mothers Day



Good morning, I've made my Mum a flower circle for Mothers Day as she is allergic to flowers but loves them. I'm hoping she can hang this on her kitchen door and will last a lot longer than anything I may have bought her to grow.
I started by drawing two circles on some packaging and cut the wreath shape out. I printed some papers from Crafts the Year Away (Marching On) and made sure I printed both sides to catch any overlaps. I then made some scalloped circles using the Nestabilities and placed them all around the circle front and back. I then made some flowers using my big shot and some sizzix dies and added a ribbon hang, some clear gems and a sprinkle of glitter on the edges. A few buttons with a couple of strands of fibre and that was it! It's hanging on my door a bit squiwhiff but I'll sort that out before I give it to Mum.
I'm going to put it in for this months challenge over at Funky Hand. Thanks for looking x
