April showers bring May flowers.... or so they say! We have had some really nice weather here in CO and I have seen some beautiful flowers. Speaking of flowers, the craft industry has some beautiful flowers you can purchase, but honestly, why purchase when you can use some leftover ribbon and make your own flowers . Good luck and I hope you enjoy the challenge. To get you started view the tell all video below!
Supplies: Ribbon, thread, needle.

I've never been any good at these types of flowers, as I am all thumbs... however, I'm pretty happy how it worked out this morning. I think the key is coffee. I should always drink more coffee
Jenn- great challenge, thanks for the video, that was very helpful- I sewed along with it I used a cute mouse stamp from Whiff of Joy and added a frog panel. Here's Heartfelt Thanks

I followed Biggan's example and did a gathered ribbon flower with a brad center- worked much better for me! Thought this girl deserved a cool textured urban background- so I used some corrugated cardboard and a woodgrain embossing folder. Isn't she cute? Here's Cocoa Girl

Oh, Jenn, thanks for the great tutorial! I have LOTS of needles and a ton of ribbon, so I'm going to have fun trying this hopefully this week! Big hugs!
I had two Thank You cards to make so I decided to make some flowers to go on them! The felt flower may not qualify for this challenge but the ribbon one definitly is!
I missed out in this because we were away. I loved the way you made them so full, Jenn! I've made them from lace before, but not nearly so full and bunchy and cute. I had enormous fun making a little ribbon one today - when it will make it onto a card is another story since it was a scrap of ribbon from a wrapped gift, and SO not my usual colours but I just wanted to say thanks .
