Over at this wonderful Blog http://paperpleasing.typepad.com/my_weblog/
I found a great idea to make your own flowers using Paper Punches....
http://paperpleasing.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/04/flowers-in-pictures-tutorial-.html
I just had to have a play, my first samples are below and after playing around with some different cardstock, my finished card is above....
The Scalloped black card has been sprayed with Glimmer mist (gold) and matted with Gold Mirror card and Patterned Cardstock (DCWV).
The Flower base is made with a large 6 petal flower Punch from Dovecraft/Trimcraft using Whitewash cardstock in oragnge and gold Mirror card.
The flower was made using scalloped circle punches in two sizes made as per instructions on the link above. Circle Punches 1.5" & 2" are by EK Success. Crimper is by Fiskars.
Leaves are made with paper punches and swirl has been die cut from one of the Marianne Dies in black paper and white ink dots added.
Fern Leaf Punch is by Leone Em and Pine Branch Punch is Martha Stewart.
Finally the Flower has been sprayed with Crafters Companion Glitter Spray.
Ribbons added in corner of card and adhesive pearls in th eother corner.
You also need a brad for the centre of the flower.
Thanks for looking
