Happy Birthday!.
Pam Simpson

Hello everyone, do you ever see a die shape and know just what your going to do with it! This is the case when Poppystamps fetched out this “Echo Blossoms” die set..said to me Flower Foam..have you ever tried this foam!, love the natural look you can create using dies and Flower Foam.

Here`s how I did these beautiful looking flowers..so easy!

I have used one above the smallest die in the set and 2 above, you can cut many layers of the flower foam together, with a die, I did 3 layers of white.

Scribbled a touch of colour, believe me you do not have to be careful! cheap oil pastels, you can use lots of colouring mediums.

gather the tops and scrunch up as shown.

unroll the petals.

I use a hot glue gun to layer these petals up.

My topper for the flowers..Cream and soft green card.

I used hot glue, to place the foam flowers and Orchard Leaves. I did a bit more scrunching up bottom of the flowers, before placing in the hot glue.

Would you have thought you could create beautiful flowers from these dies..

Finished card 6.1/4 inches x 7. 1/2 inches.. alternately you could make a smaller card around 5.1/4 inches x 6.1/4 inches ..I like a large card for our UK designs.

The Flower Foam I used.. can be easily be moulded with your fingers, sometimes I`ll use a travel iron, this tends to shrink the foam…I do use both methods.

Thank you for stopping by Pam x.
