Tips:

  • If desired, make assorted flowers to add to your project. Use a variety of flower punches and colored cardstock.
  • Save time on photo editing. Skip Step 1 and print a black and white photo, only adding color with cardstock.
  • You may also use a photo without a child. Photograph an outdoor scene and create flowers, an Easter basket or maybe an Easter bunny.
