{ Tip }
Use natural materials in your crafts! You can just step outside your door & find something that is natural, beautiful &, best of all, FREE. Isn't that wonderful? Also, it's eco-friendly, unique & depending on what you use can add scent.
For this card, I created natural trim. I cut leaves from my Japanese Maple, taped them down, then covered the stems with cardstock.
Create a specimen card by attaching an herb, flower or other plant then stamp it's name. I chose rosemary, which adds its fresh scent to this creation.
Pick a few different plants & tie them together to create a small bouquet. For this card, I used twine to hold together lavender & grass.
Here are more examples that I have created:
Love the way you've used the leaves as a trim. Off to see the next blog for the hop x

ReplyDeleteHi Corrinne
ReplyDeleteLoving your blog hop. I have to say WOW on your creations. They are certainly unique and what a great idea using something what nature gives us. That rosemary brings me back to when I was a little girl and my gran and I used to grow and harvest rosemary. I can almost smell it now.
