Forgeries on the Fourth

We are using the Scrapbook Werkstatt (https://www.scrapbook-werkstatt.de as our Inspiration kit this month. 

Lisa, our Master Forger this month, said "I think there are a few items which could be forged - not least the velvet bows and some of the die cuts. But I know you will surprise me, as always, with your own ideas for what should be created!"

I of course pulled out many stamp sets and stamped a bunch on scrap pieces of cardstock. I will use these to tuck or as main embellishments. I love the bee hive and bees and will be using that on a card.

I also made a heart transparency with embossing power. The inspiration kit had the pink bows, but I could not find a bow stamp. I know - really no bow stamp. So I substituted the open heart stamp and blue embossing powder.  The hearts are die cut from scrap paper in various sizes. 

I had these all done, and cleaning up my table when I turned around and saw my fabric. I know the bows were in velvet, but I decide to make a few burnt flowers out of silk. I'm saving my velvet for a quilt top. I can definitely part with the silk for some scrapbooking. I need pull out some organza to do the same.

I pulled out a piece of blue silk fabric, cut a rough, really rough circle, more like a square with the edges rounded, cut into it for the petals. Then burned the edges. I did not iron the fabric before doing this. I know that is a hug no no in sewing, but I am not sewing these. Be sure to be prepared to blow out the flames as it will burn fast. I have not made these flowers in a long time, so a few are really lop sided. I can use these for tucking. 

Thanks for stopping by.
