How to make your own flower

How to make your own flower.

Hi, Welcome back to my blog here. Today I want to show you how to make you own flowers for a card or any other project.


I have to be honest and tell you that it is a long time ago that I ran into an website where this technique was shown and were I found the template.


So let's get started with this tutorial.


Things you need:


* the template and cut the petal 12 times
* scissors
* stampin ink or pencils or markers
* little spoon
* soft embossing mat
* color pencil or copic marker
* glue
* pen
* if you want you can use glimmermist

Cut out this template 12 times

~

Ink or color 6 petals in a color of choice and the other 6 in an other color.

~

Cut or punch two small circles and ink them as well.

~

Take the embossing mat and the spoon and the petals 

~

Put the spoon over the petal like shown on the photo

~

Then push softly with both hands so the petal will fold a little into shape.

~

put a drop of glue on the paper background and take two petals and dip the ends in the gluedrop

~

Then glue them apposite to each other on the little circle

~

Do the same with the 4 other petals of the same color. And repeat that with the 6 petals of the other color.

Let the flowers dry well.

~

Add small lines on the petals with a pencil or a copic marker.

~

Take the pen and put the flower on the embossing mat and push lighly in the middle of both flowers

~

Glue both flowers onto each other with some 3d glue dots and add a pearl or something else in the middle of the flower on top.

And if you desire... spray with glimmer mist.

Here is the result of the tutorial.

I hope you like it and leave me a lovely comment on my work
