Here's the original flower:
Changing the color: The first thing I did was to get some walnut stain and drip, not spray it on the flower. I love walnut stain! I used alchohol ink to stain the blue flower bling in the center as it was way to bright. I also used wine colored paint to color the burlap a little.
Changing the shape: I wanted it to not lay quite so flat so I used some liquid matte medium to paint on the pedals and then shapped them the way I wanted. I used my heat gun to set the shape. You could probably use watered down matte Mod Podge too.
Making leaves: I also added some brown leaves I cut out of card stock using a sizzix die. I first covered the card stock with used dryer sheets and spayed some color on it with my homemade sprays.
*I will do a post on making flowers and leaves with used dryer sheets soon. I have been doing this for a long time and love it! Good way to recycle too.
Here's the altered flower:
What's next?
