I just love making my own flowers. My fave all time die is the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals..I think he needs to devise another with different petals...I think I am going to Sizzix myself and propose a few designs I have come up with!! lol...Well here is another flower tutorial for your creating pleasure. I used a combo of Moonshadow Mist and Glimmer Mist to color the cream card stock. Krissy intruduced us to Moonshadow Mist from Lindy's Stamp Company, and I have never looked back..I love them!! They are slightly different than Glimmer Mist as the colors pool like no other. Leave a gorgeous sheen in different hues. The look is gorgeous!! I usually top my flowers with a sheer Glimmer mist just to increase shimmer. I used Iridescent Gold on these flowers.

Product List:

Card stock in cream or white
Glimmer Mist or your favorite color spray
adhesive (glue)
chalk ink
Ranger foam Ink blender
Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers Die

[показать]Step1.
Die cut 3 big flowers, 3 medium sized flowers and punch 2 star burst.

[показать]Step2.
Place your cuts on the craft mat and mist away!! You can swirl the flowers in the excess mist to soak them in the color. I used 2 different colors and a gold spray for shimmer.

[показать]Step3.
Make slits in between each of the petals on the 3 medium sized flower, but DO NOT cut all the way to the center. 
[показать]Step4.
While still wet, Ink the edges on each of the flowers.
[показать]Step5.
While the flowers are still wet, Crunch them and wrap them around the end of a paintbrush or pencil as shown, then dry them with a craft dryer. 

[показать]Step6.
Open up your dried flowers and flatten them slightly. Take one of the large flowers and curls each individual petal in different directions. Take another large flower and curl the ends inward toward the center of the flower, and take the last large flower and curl the ends slightly outward.
Take the smaller flowers and curl all of the ends outward. I use the handle of a small paint brush.

[показать]Step7.
Start to layer your flowers.
Large flower with twisted petals on bottom, next place the flower with the petals curled outward.

Next place the flower with the petals curled inward on top.

Place the medium flowers into the center of the larger layered flowers. 
[показать]Step10.
Layer your 2 punched starburst pieces. 
[показать]Step11.
Using your fingers, curl them into a bundle so they look like stamen. 

[показать]Step12.
Glue and tuck them into the middle of your flower.
