{Tiny} Flower Power


One of the challenges for the Spring Fling Crop over at My Sketch World is Katie's Handmade Flower Challenge.  It entails 2 or more handmade flowers on a card.  I knew finding a flower to make would be easy-there are so many flower tutorials out there right now!  I found a few flowers I wanted to try, but in the end, I decided to make them on my own. 

I'm not sure why I like to make such tiny creations.  I have big shaky hands that don't always cooperate when I want them to.  Great for sports, but so much for placing tiny punched hearts on even tinier buttons!  
These are super easy to make! ( if you have small hands)  *laugh*  This could be done on a larger scale, but really, what's the fun in that?  Here's how it goes:  punch 6 tiny hears from cardstock, pop a mini glue dot on the back of a tiny button. Just for kicks, it should be the tiniest button in your stash!  Use your tweezers to place 3 of the hearts on the back of the button.  Add another glue dot and fill in the spaces with the other 3 hearts.  Easy peasy.  Here is the card I made for Katie's Challenge:



Happy Saturday, friends!
