My own patterned paper!

Stamps are a wonderful tool for creating your own patterned paper. Depending on your stamps you could create nature-themed paper, simple geometrical patterns, antique writings, or something abstract and wonderful.

I have these great wood mounted rubber stamps of butterflies, flowers and trees, so for I created my own paper and constructed flowers for one of my Etsy clients, an Alaska bride.

Check out the flowers which later turned into boutonnieres, corsages and cake flowers!!!

Note: The boutonnieres, corsages and cake flowers I mentioned will complement this BOOK Flowers Bridal Bouquet.

A Dozen PAPER FLOWERS and BUTTERFLIES in Pink and Yellow

I made this bunch of paper flowers for a very special girl's birthday.

Her mother wanted to create a lovely surprise for her daughter, so she asked me to make a dozen flowers in her daughter's favorite colors: PINK and YELLOW.

Roses, peonies, daisies and a few fluttering butterflies - all handmade and ready to bring joy on the girl's birthday!
Cheers!

• blue tinted book roses
• blue roses
• yellow roses

See a different version of this pomander in the same colors.

Cream Colored Day

Spring is near. But... We've already had a few summer-like days this year in Massachusetts. What to make of this weather???

I still sort of entertain hopes of seeing one more daring dash of snow before the winter officially ends on the 20th of March, but seeing blooming spring flowers in the parks near my home sets those hopes to the dark corners of my soul.

So, Spring it is!

Still,... who's to say that steel-colored mornings (yesterday, and this morning, for example), and beige-like sky canvases stretching above my city, are not winter-like. 

For those few fleeting moments before the day turns more sunny, I see ghosts of this warm winter and those short flurries of snowflakes we had a on a few lucky mornings. 

So, there it is. 

I say my goodbye to winter with ghost-like paper flowers in pale vanilla, beige, cream, whatever you want to call it...
