Making a flower from Hall's wrappers!

  Thank you Donelda for such a wonderful idea and your great use of your Hall's wrappers!  

Make sure to stop by her blog for more great ideas!  Here's her post:

I can use anything to make a card!


Remember my card yesterday and how I created a card out of a piece of kleenex box.

I told you how I tend to keep everything, just in case. You never know when you will be able to make something out of it ..right!! Well, my husband and son make fun of me all the time. A few weeks ago, my husband was sucking on a Halls and jokingly asked if I wanted to keep the wrapper "in case you can make something out of it" with a big laugh! So I took it and vowed to make something with it!



In the end, I used 2 of the same wrappers, cut different sizes of flowers out using some Cuttlebug flower dies, and then crumpled them up to create this awesome flower!!

You will also see that background strip. I created it by coloring in various "spaces" of ink onto white cardstock (Lemon Tart, Melon Berry, and Spring Moss - all Papertrey Ink) and then stamped over it with my Designer Woodgrain stamp (Hero Arts). The sentiment is a piece of the birthday stamp form Around and About (Papertrey Ink).


See, I CAN make somehting out of ANYTHING!!!!
Can you????
