Product Wednesday - White Flowers

Petaloo: White flowers are a GREAT blank canvas. I love to explore using different techniques to take these flowers to the next level! Below you will find some ideas on how to alter Petaloo white flowers to coordinate with any layout or project you are working on!

1. Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist - Spray the flower with one or multiple colors of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. I used Adventure kit (yellow & walnut)

2. Ranger: Distressed Ink - Using my Ink Blending Tool and Non-stick craft mat, I applied Distress ink to the flower in a circular motion. I kept adding colors until I got the look I wanted. To give it more of a water color look, spritz some water on the flower, let dry.

3. Stamp (I used Teresa Collins - Welcome Home & American Crafts - Whistle Small, ANY stamp will work). Stamp an image or text in any ink color you choose to coordinate with your project! A quick, easy way to add life to your blank canvas flowers.

4. Ranger: Stickles - add a little glitter to your flowers. I used Rock Candy Stickles on the flower below, but use any color of stickles to add some sparkle to your projects!

5. Rhinestones - decorate your flower by adding some rhinestones.

Head over to my blog for a few other ideas on what to do with blank canvas flowers.

Here are a few cards I created with my blank canvas Petaloo flowers, using BasicGrey Cappella theme set (and matching embellishments).

When I misted my flowers, I put them on white cardstock so that I could use the misted cardstock on a different project.
