Magical Monday~Fabric & Stitching

Happy Monday!!

Well, I am not a fan of Monday's either, but that just means a new Challenge from 

There's Magic in the Air's Challenge Blog!!

This week's challenge is to use Fabric & Stitching.

I must admit, this is not something I turn to when doing my projects =0)

But, it challenged me to go outside my box.

I used strips of fabric to make a flower

and pleated it to sit behind my image.

The image I used is from Paper Cupcakes store.....check it out if you haven't already!!

Here is my entry:

 

Lots of additions here....I used a border punch from Martha Stewart (I get a little carried away with these)

Magical Monday~Let's Use Flowers

There are so many different things I think when told to "use flowers" from stamped image, to crocheted to paper.
