Flowers, flowers and more flowers.....

Good morning everyone, today I'm going to show you what I was up to a few weekends ago with my mother.  She is making one of my dearest friends a cardbox for her wedding this summer, and my mom asked me to make her some paper flowers to decorate the top.  She wanted navy flowers, as my girlfriends colors include navy.  The closest we can come to the navy used, is Outdoor Denim, but did you know that if you ink up the cardstock with the matching color, it darkens the intensity of the blue, turning it almost navy.

Now my mother had me make about 2 dozen flowers, which as you will see she did not use all of them.  This is what she came up with.
