It’s that odd time in the Northeast between Winter and Spring when the dull, gray days seem to last forever. When Mother Nature likes to tease us with a beautiful, warm day and then laugh at us as snow flurries blow in the next day. How cruel! But I think it makes us appreciate the nicer weather a little more when it does finally arrive and stay.
The signs are out there – robins chirping in the morning, small specks of green pushing their way up out of the hard brown earth. It’s only a matter of time now!
So I was feeling a little Spring-inspired this morning and was looking around online for some papercraft flowers. I ran across this awesome tutorial by Lain Ehmann and was smitten.
She shows us three quick and easy flower designs created with punches. I don’t have the fancy flower petal punch she uses for the first design (I have punch envy) but I do have some circle punches! What a great way to use up some of my scraps.
Here are few samples of what I came up with.
Check out her video and let me know what design is your favorite?
Obviously, I’m digging the one with just the plain circles stacked off-center. I think it’s simplicity is endearing. It reminds me of a Raggedy Ann doll…no? Ok, maybe it’s just me then!
Have a great day everyone!
