Tutorial Tuesday: Paper Flowers
Prima flowers are all the rage these days as my sister discovered after viewing other bloggers. I bring this up because she thought I could ‘lose the flowers’ on one or two of my cards. Quietly I said, “no way!” But now, Cathie is on the band wagon and likes flowers since seeing them on other blogger’s cards. In honour of my sister’s love for flowers, I created this tutorial to make paper flowers. If you are like me, you have loads of unused flower stamps. Today we will layer and ink stamped images to create a hip and modern look.
I also wanted to incorporate Odd Bird Planet, so I used one of my favourite stamps that simply states, “Believe.”
Supplies:Â Flower stamps and sponge
Stamp out your image three times.
Cut out the flowers and ink the edges with a coordinating colour.
Ink up all three flowers. Ink some of the petals, not just the edges.
With a pair of scissors, curl the flower petals. I curled two downwards and one upwards.
Layer flower with pop dots. Place a brad into the center.
Stamp and cut out three large flowers and one small flower. The small flower will be for the center so use a different colour than your three larger flowers.
Ink all the edges in coordinating ink. Rub some colour onto the flower petals, not just the edges.
With a white pen, create dots on your petals and/or flower edge.
Layer flowers with pop dots.
Now you have pretty little layers. Finish off your project by adding stamped or punched leaves. Add a sentiment to your project as well.

Great tutorial – I think you could seriously benefit from a production of a calendar that would expose the variety of designs while you include the features of the process…great work overall – thanks!
