When we were in high school (being a twin, I have always used the word "we"), our french teacher use to have us decorate the bulletin board in his classroom for extra credit. I needed the extra credit. ;) I think he knew we would have done it without extra credit, but I think he felt that we put so much effort into it that he should reward us with something. I even think it was our idea. His classroom was so bare. ;) So, Becca and I decided that we were going to fill the entire board with tissue flowers. We made them multicolored. Honestly, I think I would have loved them just as much today as I did then.
I guess I have always loved tissue flowers, garland, and banners. This layout was inspired by all the photos I have been seeing with more tissue flower love. I created the flower garland with Tim Holtz's tissue tape. I just gathered the pieces in a circle and cut the tape when I liked the size I wanted. Then, I just stuck them on the page. When I liked the placement of them, I just put more adhesive on the back to make sure it stayed put.
Create Well: Create a flower a faux garland with tissue tape. Sew your "banner line" with a sewing machine or by hand and then glue on your flowers.
