Roses extravaganza...

Good morning my crafty friends :)

I mentioned yesterday that I made some foamiran roses over the weekend.

Today I will share with you last three I've created.

This time I used peach foamiran as a base

except the smallest rose where I used light yellow and yellow. 

Again for the petals I used Craft Passion dies - Rose and Peony

and as yesterday I coloured them with Gallery oil pastels.

I used: 202, 204, 205, 216, 227 and 243.

They are fabulous! I wanted to play with them from the second I received them :)

To shape my petals I used my fingers and Flower Shaping Tool 20mm-30mm.

It is time consuming but worth every minute :)

Leaves I made using olive green foamiran as always.

All products are available in my shop Love to Craft & Create.

I hope you like my roses :) 

Thank you so much for your time. I hope you enjoyed this post.

Something new....

Hi everyone :)

Over the weekend I made a few foamiran roses and it's time to share them with you. 

Today I would like to show you one of them...

Light Pink Rose.

To make it I used white foamiran. I am not very crafty with hand cutting 

so for the petals I used Craft Passion dies - Rose and Peony.

After that the fun started :) 

Colouring the petals couldn't be much easier than using Gallery Oil Pastels.

I absolutely loved the process!!!

I used 3 colours:

210 - Purple

216 - Pink

227 - Yellow Green

After colouring the time came for shaping and the Flower Shaping Tool 20-30mm is amazing!!!

It made my work much easier but I had to use my fingers as well ;)

No pain no gain lol

To make my leaves I used olive green foamiran... my favourite.

Et voila...

All products I used are available in my shop

I hope you like my rose :)

Thank you so much for your time

Chocolate Ruffle Rose... almost ;)

Hi everyone.

I hope you have had a fantastic day so far :)

Today I'm coming to you with something new... at least for me.

Up to now, I had been trying small or medium foamiran flowers

and because I don't have much time, usually they were quite simple 

or even "lazy" as I like to call them ;)...

but this weekend I decided to try something different... 

a flower which is not only big but needs much more work as well. 

To save some time (yes, if I can I will always do lol)

 I used one of the new metal dies in my shop Love to Craft & Create

Craft Passion - Peony.

However I didn't make a peony... 

I made a rose... Chocolate Riffle Rose... 

or at least I tried to make it lol.

I cut ruffled petals (except the largest one) out using white foamiran 0.6mm

and colour them with dry soft pastels. 

And here is the result

I made leaves as well using olive green foamiran 0.6 and mould 104

but for some reason I haven't make a photo showing that. 

I need to admit I am quite proud of myself :) 

It took me a few hours to make and I burned one of my fingers in a process

but I am happy with the result. 

Please let me know what you think :)

"Lazy" foamiran flowers...

Hi everyone...

lately we've been speaking a lot on our group Foamiran Flower Tips

about colouring foamiran, what can be used to do it etc.

As you all know making flowers from scratch, 

cutting them out, colouring, shaping its lots of fun 

however its time consuming as well. 

Unfortunately I don't have as much time as I would like to

but I do like making flowers lol

Today I would like to show you "lazy flowers" as I call them ;)

You can make them fast and they are extremely easy to do

as you don't need to colour them or do much shaping.

All you need is iron, metal dies, 

different colours of foamiran, stamens, flowers centres et voila.

I hope you like my "lazy" flowers :)

All products can be found in my shop Love to Craft & Create.
