Paper Bouquets using Curious Metallic Cardstocks and Paper

Randi Dickinson, a very talented artist,  from Spokane, Washington made these beautiful BOUQUETS using Curious Metallics from CutCardstock.com  

Information about the pink/white/copper bouquet:

This bouquet is an updated twist on Victorian paper flowers. Each petal has been hand cut out of cardstock and wrapped around an 18 gauge wire stem and wrapped with florists tape to secure the blossom. In Victorian times, women would craft similar flowers for use as home decor during the winter month when fresh blooms were not available. They make a great alternative to fresh flowers for gifts, weddings, and decor.
This soft bouquet consists of two pearl-centered peonies in Curious Metallics "Bloom" and "Nude," three simple roses in "White Gold," a rose in "Cognac" with a dusty rose shimmery tulle, and 3 light pink roses from assorted vintage papers.

   

Here is a little information from Randi:

"Just a little about myself: I am an artist with a bachelor's degree in studio art. My academic emphasis is in painting, drawing and life drawing (figures/portraits). Recently I have gotten more into graphic design and am enjoying it despite telling myself that I wouldn't ever be interested in graphic design. 

I have a serious love for paper and most of my work reflects that. Bookbinding became a passion of mine while in art school creating altered books and sketchbooks for myself. After all, who wants to sketch in an ugly store-bought book! I started creating these for others as a way to help unleash their creativity too.

I have so many crafty interests including knitting, crochet, scrapbooking, screen printng, beading, resin, leather working, and lots more! So if my shop seems a little mixed its because I am addicted to crafts! : ) I have an eclectic style and my shop changes often, so take a peek and come back often.

If you have any questions for me, or are interested in a custom order, I am very convo friendly.
