Ever been stuck for flowers that match your project?. not anymore, make these using any size of scallop punch and a few random petal punches.
Punch out your scallop shapes, a thin cardstock is best, these were done with Papermania ( I know but this one is real pretty )Rose Garden
Take your scissors and cut between each scallop...... not right to the centre or you'll fall apart!
Place face down onto a soft surface... a mouse mat or similar, I used the black spongy back of a Sizzix die! Take a rounded rub-on stick and press down on the tip of each petal and pull towards the centre of the flower. This creases the petal and gives a realistic look to the flower.
Turn over and with circular motion rub the centre of the flower flat! Add more layers with different size scallops or use other flower punches and shape the petals in the same way.
