Christine's Awesome Friday Tutorial
Hi everyone! I am so glad to be back for this Fridays tutorial. My computer crashed and I had to order another one. I finally received it Tuesday. Then Had to take it to get it started up. I have missed all my crafting buddies this last week and half. So here we go for our tutorial.
Handmade Flowers
I seen this done with a Stamping Up Kit. Since I do not belong to Stamping Up, I thought of a way to do this flower. So here we go.
Supplies Needed
Sweet Treats Circut Cartridge
Off White Paper
Distressing Ink I used Faded Jeans
Brads
Water
Something to punch a hole
Glass
Healing Mat
Step 1
Take your off white paper and place on the circut sticky sheet. Then place the sheet in the cutter and cut 8 scalloped flowers.
Step 2
Take your 8 flower shapes off the sticky sheet and put on the glass.
Step 3
Now distress with you Faded Jeans Ink around the edges of the flower.
Step 3
Take your water bottle an spray your inked flower shapes so they will be wet.
Step 4
Take your flower shapes and pinch the shapes together with your fingers.
Step 5
Take your pieces of rolled up flowers and undo them.
Step 6
Take all your pieces and stack them up on top of each other.
Step 7
Take something to punch a hole in the center of the flower shapes for your brad.
Step 8
Taking one layer at time gather the flower shape up toward the center. Continue this until you have all the layers gathered up.
Step 9
The last step is to pull the layers apart slightly apart. This will dry in a flower.
Isn't this an awesome handmade flower. I think you could use a flower punch to get the same effect. Hope this helps you on some flower embellishments.
Hugz,
Christine

Wow Christine - these flowers look soooo effective. I don't have a Cricut or flower punch, but think I might have to look round and see what else I can use! Thanks for sharing this awesome tutorial. Helen x
