Homemade Flowers

The first day of Spring is on Sunday, so what better way to enjoy it then to make some homemade flowers?!? I posted some tutorials recently over on the House of Paper blog: Flowers 1 and Flowers 2. That's how I made these lovely projects:

Here's a layout using the BEAUTIFUL Echo Park Be Mine collection:

A card using the Echo Park Springtime collection:

And an altered gift bucket (from Target $1 spot) using new Echo Park For the Record and other Echo Park papers:
All of the new Echo Park collections (including the new PLAYGROUND!!!) can be found in the HOP shop! :) Happy Spring!
