Gail U taught me how to make paper last weekend and I've been busy making paper ever since. I've been trying hard not to get obsessed in this process as I have a tendency to do that, but I do make some paper every day.
Above you'll see some paper I have made.
I'm still very much a novice, but I'm having fun and starting to make some projects.
Here is a box I made using the Bitty Box and Envelope die. The tissue paper flower on top was made using the Big Flower punch the same tissue paper which provided the basis for the new paper and the leaf is from the Big Bird punch.
Glitter and real dried flowers (purchased) have been added to this paper, but I am going to incorporate my own flowers. So I have started drying the flowers from my garden using a flower press. Already I have a batch to use. I've dried geraniums, petunias, verbena, cosmos, zinnias, marigolds, clematis, and the leaves from cosmos, ferns, yarrow, and summer phlox (blue, red, and white) Stay tuned for paper made from these.
I've made a card, but will post it later.

Paper: Pear Pizzaz, Whisper White, hand made paper
Ink: Wild Wisabi, Memento, Copic markers to color main image
