Foamiran Flowers

                                                                  Hello crafty people, 

Hope you are all having a good day.

I thought I

would share some of the foamrian flowers Ive been messing with.

These are lily shaped flowers

These flowers I cut from a die of eBay, but I think dies are too wasteful.

so the photo underneath is the same die I cut in paper the drew round it 

and cut by hand. The foamrian is about  99p a sheet for A4.

I found I got more flowers out of the sheet if I hand cut them.

I used distress

 inks to colour them.

The centre of these flowers I used the offcuts.

These smaller flowers I made by cutting squares in the shape of the flowers. 

just experimenting to see the best way to get the most out of a sheet.

These are coloured with the oil pastels. They are better if you want a deeper colour.

 These little rose buds are all the little bits of foam I cut into tiny petal shapes.

Then stuck them round a ball of tinfoil. The leaves I did in the same way. A bit fiddly 

but I managed to get 5 rosebuds out of the tiny scraps from three sheets.

Hoping the next lot will be a lot better after the lessons I've learnt.
