The newest challenge at Shopping Our Stash is Flowers, Flowers Everywhere!
There was a time in my paper crafting past where flowers were my go-to embellishment, so much show that I would shop the floral section to see if there were hydrangeas or other silk blooms that I could dissect to add to my flower stash. Since then I've purged a lot of my flowers, but I still found a long-forgotten stash to work with.
The first thing that came to mind were the floral decorated wedding cake cards I used to make … it looks like the last one was in 2016. Since most of the flowers I have in my stash are neutral tones, I decided to use a piece of sprayed paper for my cake base (since I've seen some cool air-brushed wedding cakes). I used this scrap from my stash that combined pink, green and yellow.
I combined blooms from lots of different brands to make the path up my cake. I even pulled out tiny old-school golden brads for the flower centers for the tiny white prima blooms.
While I was shopping my stash for lots of old school supplies, I pulled out a golden sticker sentiment to finish the design using the sketch from The Paper Players.
We can't wait to see what you do with those flowers in your stash.
LOL, I remember having a few of these flowers in my stash too! I love how you created your wedding cake with them…so clever! Thanks for playing with our sketch this week at the Players!
What a lovely Wedding or Anniversary card, love the cascading floweres.

Once again you offer great inspiration to those who decide to play along with our new “Flowers!! Flowers Everywhere” challenge over at Shopping Our Stash. #SOS491
