#5 Embellish a Floral Accent

Who Gives A Scrap, the Yahoo Group of croppers I am in, is doing Elsie's 52 Challenges, one per week. I'm skipping around a bit but here is my attempt at Week #5:

Embellish a Floral Accent: No matter what your page topic, I bet you can find a place for a flower accent in your design. But take it up a notch. Embellish the center of your flower with a mini clock, a tiny thread-tied-button or patterned paper. And don’t be afraid to turn a large flower shape into a photo frame!

I embellished some Prima Months of the Year flowers with pearls. I added more pearls around the flowers along with some Jenni Bowlin stickers stars. I stamped more floral flourishes onto some notebook style paper, cut them out, and added pearls to those too.

Patterned Paper – Prima, Webster's Pages, Graphic 45, Foo-Fa-La
Ink – Close to My Heart, Colorbox Chalk
Brads – Close to My Heart, Stampin' Up!
Stickers – Jenni Bowlin
Flowers – Prima
