Faux Prima Flowers



I am using my Cricut machine to make Prima style flowers using cone shaped coffee filters and coloring them w/ various inks. They cut very flat, and then I add dimension by scoring and embossing them by hand. A good way to get just the right color flower for a project.

What a resourceful idea! I have tons of Prima's, but, I swear, I *never* have the right color, so I am always coloring a white/off-white one. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the cut file! I made some befor with punches, then I scord them on a foam mat and I punched my scoring stylus through the senter to add more dimention. I never thought about the coffee filters though and I have many since I make books with them. PS welcome to the SCAL user group!

Fly Free ATC

Fly Free ATC Originally uploaded by saunjune This ATC was made for our Open House Triptych swap at North Coast Art Swaps .  I used old sheet music paints, and inks collaged over scrapbook paper for the background.  The image of the girl is a gel medium transfer, and the words and butterflies were added to finish the collage.
