Rose are sometimes black

Hi everyone. Today is all about flowers. Flowers always add a special touch to a card. I will be sharing how to make dimensional flowers. They are the perfect way to adorn a card without breaking the bank.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1
Cut out three six petaled flower with either a punch, die or from a template. You can get the template from Images by Heather M.

Step 2
Cut one of the flowers between two petals to the center. Cut one petal off the second flower and two petals of the third flower. Thus giving you five pieces to make the flower.







Step 3
Take the petals of each of the five flowers and roll it. You can do this by rolling each petal between you fingers or using a cocktail stick.

                                                                Step 4

Having done this add a bit of adhesive (wet glue preferably) to the petal on the right side of the cut. Then slide the petal on the left onto the petal on the right with the adhesive and hold tightly. Do this for 6, 5, 4 and 2 petaled flower.













                    Step 5

Cut a hole at the bottom of the cone of the 5, 4 and 3 petaled flower (not the 2 petaled flower)











Step 6

Apply adhesive to the inside of the cone of the 3 petaled flower. Slide the 2 petaled flower and adhere. Apply adhesive to the inside of the 4 petaled flower and slide the 3 petaled flower to adhere. Apply adhesive also to the inside of the 5 petaled flower, slide the 4 petaled flower and adhere. Roll the remaining single petal, cut off the tip, apply adhesive and stick it into the center of the flower. The end of the 2 petaled flower will be sticking out, you can trim it.

Hope you enjoy making dimensional flowers. Until next time, happy crafting.
