CC&S 176 Colours: A Suffolk Puff Flower Trio

I'm a bit late this week with my DT card for CAS Colours & Sketches, sorry! It has been such a busy week, even though it's half term, with Guide camp at the start and a narrowboating weekend to finish. This month, another of our newer DT members, Bev, is hosting our challenges and has come up with some lovely ideas for us.


I was showing some Guides how to make 'Suffolk Puffs'/Yo-Yo flowers to decorate bags at the weekend and thought I would make some for my card this week. I had a rummage through my fabric box and luckily found some scraps in just the colours I needed. I finished the centres with matching buttons and thread in the same colours. The panelled background was created using a Hero Arts stamp and the design was completed with two small butterflies from the same set.


Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Birds N Butterflies (Hero Arts)
Ink Pad: Smokey Gray (VersaFine)
Snippets: Cotton fabric, Buttons, Thread, White and yellow linen card scraps, Sentiment stamp


I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Thanks for visiting

  2. This is so fun and creative. Something I'd never think to do. I really like the puffiness and 3D of your flowers and the stamps you have combined them with is beautiful. Hugs Bev x

  7. Your fabric yo-yo flowers made me smile! My grandmother made a quilt top out of them; I do remember it took her a long time to make it! Your little dimensional butterflies are sweet, too.

  9. I can't believe that you had the right colours - you must have a fabric box the size of a house! I love the delicate background you've made to set them off perfectly.
