top tip tuesday -#59 anything christmas http://toptiptuesday.blogspot.com/ with a tip
TIP: If you can't find a flower to go with your card - make your own..see my tutorial
I chose three punches, you can also cut out circles, I choose to use two large, three middle size and two small circles.. but you can use more or less. It's your flower. It's best to use a good card stock or designer paper. Sometimes the lighter weight will rip when you wet them.
with water I mist the pieces and scrunch them up being careful not to tear. Also some card stocks run so scrunch the lighter colors first then move on to the darker colors so they don't bleed.
open carefully and dry with heat tool. When fully dry if you want you can take a distress tool and go around the edges.
I stack the largest, then middle circle ending with smallest and with piercing tool punch hole in center to add brad
At this time you can adhere to your card OR you can scrunch the flower
I start with the smallest and scrunch around the brad, then next layer and next and next till you come to the bottom circle.
then carefully open the flower and scrunch to desired shape. Now adhere to your card. I love these flowers for masculine cards as they are not frilly. If you use the designer paper for the masculine card your making it works out great. I think you will enjoy the simplicity of this flower. Changing the brad will also give a different look to the flower. I hope you give it a try.
