Hello Paper Passion Members- This is my first swap and I really wanted to push the limits of our creativity and bring a little reminder of Spring over the cold months of winter. So, this is an easy-peasy paper flower swap. Here's the down-low/details: Make three (3) of any type of flower from paper. Your three flowers can be all different or all the same. TECHNIQUES: Your flowers should be handmade by you and not a sticker, silks, or store-bought paper flowers, but other than that the possibilities are endless. You can punch, die-cut, hand-cut, stamp flowers then color and cut them, embroider a flower design on paper and cut it out,quilled flowers, wet paper and crinkled flowers, flowers made from newsprint, or any other techniques that you can come up with as long as it involves paper and forms a flower that you make yourself. FORM: The flowers should NOT be attached to anything, so that your swap partner can use the flowers as an embellishment in their future projects. Stems are optional SIZE: Your flowers should be no larger than 2" in diameter. FLOWER INSPIRATION: Here are some different types of flowers to inspire you: Rose, Sunflower, Peony, Carnation, Forget Me Not, Mum, Gerber Daisy, Tulip, Lilly, and any other type of flower seen in nature. SHIPPING: These can be shipped in a small padded envelope, if you design permits or a small box. Only ship in a flat paper envelope if your design is completely flat and wrapped well, so the flowers don't get damaged. That should cover it! If you have questions, feel free to post here or email me. I'll be sure to post answers to your questions. Let's get creative and come up with some beautiful flowers to share with others during the winter months when we don't see too many flowers. |
