I took a class at the LSS Tuesday and created these projects in the class. I took it mainly for the flowers made with grunge paper, but we did other type paper flowers. Here are the cards I we made with the paper flowers.

This first one I wasn't crazy about - working with wet cardstock....it took forever to dry but it came out pretty good

This one was made with 12 layers of tissue paper..the flower doesn't look as good in the pic as it does in IRL. (I also messed up with the ink on this one...I am not good working in a group...

)

This one was made with several scalloped circles cut in different sizes and cut into the shape to form the petals.

My favorite of the whole class was making roses from Grunge paper. The rose I created in the class is the large one in the middle-white with writing on it...and I made the others at home. You can ink this paper, use alcohol inks, Radiant Rain (which is like Glimmer Mist) acrylic paints....the list is endless! I put pins on the back of a few of them, and the little one at the bottom will be a ring....hopefully I'll be able to sell some at the upcoming craft fair.

thanks. I really enjoy the grunge paper....after using certain inks on it, it looks almost like leather.

I was a very fun class. The teacher is a blast. She also taught the two Copic classes I took.

Thanks you all for your compliments!

Thank you. I did use the Cricut, as the template they gave in the class was similar to the shape I found on Plantin (used DS to delete the inner circle)

Grunge paper is thinner than Grunge board. Its smooth and it cuts beautifully in the Cricut. I could cut out by hand but my edges are never as smooth as if I cut out by hand.

Grunge paper is very flexible, you can use inks, paints, glimmer sprays....it molds well and is very durable...won't crush or crease. I loved working with it!

These are really cool! Can you give us the directions? I looked at Plantin and the only design was the green colored flower. Is that the one you are talking about?

Thanks. I had lots of fun making them!

The flower is the shape in Plantin, on page 76 of the handbook, its the Roly Poly shape....it looks like a scalloped edge circular frame. I delete the inner circle in DS to make it a 5 petal flower. That is the only shape I found in DS that is like the template I got from the class.

I didn't get any written instructions from the class, but I can write them out and put them on my blog with pictures.
