I made my own Primas!

You know how it is......you see it.....you want it....you can't wait or get hold of it!! So you get crafty and thats exactly what I did with these flowers!



I wired each individual flower around a leaf and curled the excess wire. Then I attached the leaves to the main stem which came from the top flower and worked my way down.....only one problem..... I have run out of leaves and want to do another one...urggghhh

These pretty papers are from the Bubbly Funk May kit and are from the Madeline collection by K&Co. For some reason I always think that this kind of Duck Egg green colour doesn't photograph or replicate well and I am convinced of this, because in real life it's much more intense. I actually quite enjoyed working with a touch of purple it made a change although I haven't got many purple flowers or embellishments so I am having to work around this!! Hence the purple butterflies!

Can you believe how many of those plastic butterflies and flowers I used!! And there was me thinking they'd be collecting dust for forever and a day....I guess you never know what you are going to pull out of the bag (or messy bedroom) until you trip over them!!

Thnx for the B Bling B!!

Love and butterfly bling
