Handmade Flower Tutorial - By Me!!!!

The kid are off and I have 2 editions today, cant get on with my cardmaking so was playing around and came up with this. Thought I'd share it with you as very easy to do. Excuse the quality of pictures, the lightings not very good in here.

I used 2 SU punches, 1" and 1 3/8".
Deckle Edge Scissors or similar
Small Scissors
Moulding mat or similar (pricking/mouse mat maybe)
Character Shaper or Embossing tool
Silicone Glue
Ink Pad to edge





Punch out the shapes and using a pair of Deckle Edged Scissors cut around the circles


I've edged with an Encore Ink Pad and cut little slits into the flower. Used a Character Shaper or Embossing Tool adding pressure and lifting the outside petals to take shape


Used silicone to glue the 2 pieces together


Added Gold Liquid Pearls to the centre but you can use any embellishment for this.
Finished by punching leaves out with the new L-Em Leaf punch from The Glitter Pot.

The flowers look a little flat in the picture but they do have more dimension in real life. I will use these on a card shortly and think I will make more handmade flowers in the future, great for colour co-ordinating on a project!
Would love to see what results you come up with, this really was trial and error and by no means a professional tutorial.
Let me know what you think!

1) Take a piece of Cling Film and lay it out flat.

2) Scribble some different Felt Tips onto Cling Film, dont overdo it as the colours dont show so much at this stage.

3) Spritz lightly with water, 2-3 sprays should do it.

4) Scrunch up the Cling Film.




5) Flatten out and place over Glossy Card.

6) Spread the colours out and lift Cling Film off.

The colours left on the Cling Film can be reused by spritzing again with water, this will leave a lighter background on the next card.


And here is my finished card which is for a challenge over at Auntys Forum
