I chose to do a layout this month, as I've been making a lot of cards lately. I still have journaling to add to the right page, in the light blue areas. But I like to wait a while to journal sometimes so I remember everything I want to say!
What I like about Just Blooms is their versatility. Because they're paper, you can modify them in all kinds of ways. I used plain White Daisy flowers (the larger ones were from the Big Pinks pack). First, I decided on my layers, then spritzed them all with water, and crumpled them up really well. Next, I used my heat gun to dry each layer. Finally, I assembled the layers onto some Sunflower brads, and added a little ink distressing. A totally different look than when they come out of the package!
Here's a close up of the large flower - it has four layers.
Now, continue on to Haley's blog for more great ideas for using your Just Blooms paper flowers!
