Or should that be blog leap?
Welcome to the next stop on the brand new Banana Frog blog hop! If you've not been over to the Frog Blog yet, check out what's going on - you may just win a prize!
As you know we're focusing on flowers this month.
And here's my project to share with you - where I used this little collection of ingredients to make something on a flower theme:
I cut out some circles from scrap cardstock, randomly stamped some designs from the Kawaii Kokeshi set on both sides of the circles, cut spirals from the circles and got twisting them to make spiral flowers!
There are some useful tutorials on Youtube for making spiral flowers just to get an idea of how it works.
And here's my finished project:
Stamps: Banana Frog - Kawaii Kokeshi
Papers: My Mind's Eye, Making Memories
Rub-on: Basic Grey
Other: Liquid Pearls
They look lovely in real life and it would be quite something to create a bunch of these for the table on Easter Sunday, but for now these add a nice bit of spring colour to my card basket.
Jo will be sharing the next project in our blog hop - go check it out and thanks for visiting! :o)
this card is wonderful!!

Good idea to use the stamps on the cardstock to make the flowers.
