Coffee Filter Flowers

Have fun creating dimensional flowers from coffee filters!

It's as easy as spritzing coffee filters with Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko's Fireworks and stamping with a flower from Penny Black's Flowers Sweet set. 

Instructions

• Create a 3 ¾ x 5 ½-inch side-folded card from white cardstock.  Trim the upper right corner with a rounding punch.
• Stamp the sentiment in Onyx Black VersaFine ½-inch from the top of the card and heat emboss with clear powder.
• Stamp the decorative pattern with Spanish Moss VersaFine on a 3 ¾-inch square of Fern Green cardstock.  Lightly distress the edges with the same ink and a jumbo sponge dauber.
• Attach the stamped cardstock to the front of the prepared card with dimensional foam.  Set aside.
• Spray coffee filters with Fireworks.  Let dry.  TIP/HINT: A heat tool can be used to speed drying time.
• Stamp the flower on the sprayed coffee filters with Onyx Black VersaFine. 
• Trim the flowers.  Using a needle and thread, sew a basting stitch around the center of each flower.  Pull the thread ends to cinch the flower together and tie off the threads.
• Place a crystal gem in the center of each flower.
• Adhere the flowers to the top the elevated green mat.

Enjoy "brewing" a bouquet of blooms!
