Woohooo! The day is here! Just Us Girls 3D challenge day and this week I am so excited to challenge you to make a zipper flower. You may remember {my post} using one of these texture rich flowers a couple weeks ago. If you'd like a TUTORIAL for the kind of zipper flower I made, please check out the tutorial I wrote on the Want2Scrap blog.
The challenge this week is to make any sort of flower with a ZIPPER!
Eeek! I love that baby pink/silver toothed combo for my flower. Delicate but tough at the same time :) Perhaps a little inner rocker chick/80's hair band love is showing here? ;) I topped my flower creation with a great silver toned button using fabri tac.
I also tried a little color on colored cardstock shading via the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday 7 challenge. I a stamped wild wasabi ink PTI Fillable Frame 4 on PTI chartreuse paper and then used a grey copic to shade between the outside border and the inner dotted border....very subtle. I then re-dotted the dotted border with black.
This zipper flower also needed a fun stick pin. I grabbed a yellow leaf topped quilters pin and I used embroidery floss to make two fluffy pom poms to thread onto my needle along with a craft pearl. Check out my yarn pom pom tutorial {here} for how to make pom poms. I used the dangling green embroidery floss ends to tie on craft pearls for a fun free moving element.
I also altered a scanned vintage bingo card so that the "bingo" letters now spell out "GR*OW" for my card. I love simple do it yourself touches like this! Feel free to grab this for use in your own projects. I hope you'll leave me a link in the comments on this post if you use it. I love to see what you make.
