Hi Everyone!

Sorry I missed yesterday but I was exhausted.

I am in love with using punches to make flowers.

I love this little poppy.

Below are the materials I used to make the flower.

I used the Stampin'Up oval and cut a folded piece of light weight

cardstock.  I didn't insert the paper all the way in and just cut

less than half the oval.  I then snipped off the top with 

deckle edge scissors.  I inked both sides of each piece with Colorbok

Cat Eye Chalk in Bisque.

I used the RoseArt colored pencils to add additional color to each petal.

I then used a variety of embossing tools to form the petals using the 

PushPad under the card stock.  I used paper glue to 

adhere the petals together and form the flower.

After that I cut a thin strip of CoreDinations card stock and

wrapped it around a chop stick and then rolled it between

my fingers to create the stock.

I also used two pieces of folded card stock and

cut in the shape of a long thin leaf.

Finally, I cut a small circle out of the black card stock

and shaped it into a small bowl shape and glued in in the center.

The last step was taking a long strip of black and making 

thin cuts.  I rolled it and glued it around the domed disc.

I will try to make a tutorial one of these days.

Hugs,

Gail
