I made a tutorial on this flower on FB and it came out better on FaceBook than on my blog, but anyways here is the steps I used to make this gorgeous flower....enjoy!!
cut out 3 large pedals, than 3 med pedals, than 3 small pedals, You can make these flowers as big as you want them!!
After you layer your flower pierce the middle so yuou can put a brad into it!
Make sure you ink the edges of your flowers before you put them together!!
Get your water mister out, this helps shape the flower!!
After you put the brad into the flower use your mister to get the flower wet. Don't mind my hands I have ink on them!!
Spray water on the flower than crunch them up one layer at a time!!
I use lots of water on the card stock after each layer.
