March Stash Challenge - Paper Flowers

Welcome to 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown!  Whether this is your first visit here or you're one of our regular challenge participants, we're glad you're here, and we hope you'll join in the fun and creativity!

This week is "stash challenge" week, where we invite you to use products that you likely already have in your crafting supplies.  This time we want to see your dimensional paper flowers!  You can can use store-bought paper flowers (such as Primas) or you can create flowers with punches, dies, or an electronic die-cutting machine.  Using floral patterned paper doesn't count for this challenge unless you find a way to lift those flowers off the card!  Stamping or using a digital image of a Christmasy flower only works if you then cut it out and give it some dimension.  (See the cards Design Team members Jacqueline and Deborah made for two excellent examples of that.)  Have fun being creative with this!

Here is what our March Guest Designer, Scraplady, has done with our theme.  

Her gold floral doily visually balances with the printed poinsettia in the bottom corner.

Here is some more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Check out the different ways they've used dimensional flowers!

While you're at it, put a smile on their faces by leaving a comment on their blogs! 

After all, everyone enjoys receiving comments.  :)
