Creating Flowers

Flowers

1)      Stamp Arianna Blooms with Chianti Color Box ink on white cardstock four times

2)      Cut out all of the flowers using Arianna Die Cut

3)      Shape all the petals (as described below)

4)      Glue 4 petals of the same size on top of each other

5)      Glue seed beads into the middle of the flowers

6)      Glue flowers onto the card

Shaping the Petals:

a)      Spritz the back of the petal with water

b)    Turn the petal upside down on a foam mat (stamp facing down)

c)      Using a stylus gently press down from the base of the flower pulling out towards the tip of the petal (this breaks down the fiber of the vellum, making it more pliable)

d)      Once you have done all the petals you will start folding each petal in half

e)     Turn flower over (stamp side up) and then bend the corners up like ears, creating a ripple effect

f)      Continue to pleat the petals as many times as you can, which will depend on the size of the petal
