Punch three flowers with the Blossom Punch ($33.95 in the Autumn/Winter Mini).

On two of the blossoms, mark the point in the centre of the flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

  Cut one petal from one of the flowers.

Cut two petals from the second flower.

Put sticky strip onto one of the petals from each of these two flowers.

 

 

 

 

Using Daubers, and the same colour ink as the card you are using, sponge around the outer edges of your blossoms.

 

 

 

 

 

 Using a bone scorer, curl the full blossom upwards slightly.  And curl the two other blossoms backwards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Take the two blossoms that have a section cut out.  Curl these around and stick them into a cone shape, over lapping one petal, sticking with the Sticky Strip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turn them over and cut off the cone tip.  Cut more off the 4 petal flower, and a little less off the 3 petal flower.

Bend the petals of the flowers outwards a little more, and give each petal a little pinch backwards.

 

 

 

 

  Use Crysal Effects to pick the flower together.  You can use glue dots if you don’t want to wait for the Crystal Effects to dry, but Crystal Effects will make sure that the flower is super strong, which is important if you’re using them on something like a canvas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Put Crystal Effects around the bottom of the flower to stick to the first flower:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  hold the flower in place for a minute or two, before adding the second flower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Using Crystal Effects again, you can stick the second flower into the centre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Using the 4 petal flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, punch out 3 (Riding Hood Red) flowers and sponge around the edges with the same colour ink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Leave the first flower flat, curl the second a little, curl the third a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

  Layer and stick the 3 flowers together.  Add a pearl in the centre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Using Crystal Effects again, stick the little flower into the centre of the larger, layered flower.  Let dry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Use your flower as you wish.  A canvas is cute as a whole bunch, you could also use it on a hair clip, broach, gift box and much more!   I’ll post pics in the next few days of this flower totally covered in Crystal Effects!  Turns out very glossy and pretty.  Oh and did someone mention glitter???  Glitter makes everything prettier!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you were able to follow this and enjoy making these flowers as much as I did!  And of course you can contact me if you have any questions or would like to order these punches!!
