from a light weight card
3 scallop circles
one 1/2' circle punch and
one small flower for the center, i used the spring bouquet punch
ink of your colour choice
a jewel for the center, glitter
and some ribbon for the leaves
Ink each scallop in the center and around the edges and also the small center flower. Now fold each one in half colour side in, then fold each side up into the center as seen below.
Bring the sides back up.
Then push the insides flat with your finger. this is one set of petals
When you've made all three glue them to the 1/2' circle. Add the smaller flower in the center and a jewel, glitter not shown here...sorry.... Now this is how the flower i seen was left but i didn't like the extra card that was peeping out from behind the petals so i simply cut them out. Make sure you don't cut into the fold, just a triangle cut out will work well shown here in green. Doing this i think it looked a whole lot better.
so here's a close up of the finished flower on the card
Give this a go! it was really very easy and effective! ...Valita
and a last thought
When I was a child,
I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child.
But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
