Ode to the Ornament Punch - Part 4


Ode to the Ornament Punch - Part 4 - Flowers

Recently my mom sent me a great birthday card with a focal point of a flower made out of punched circles.  It was such a cute embellishment, it seemed to be a great match for the Ornament punch!

Supplies (available from my Stampin' Up demonstrator website)
Real Red Designer Series Paper (From the Brights Collection Stack, #117155)
Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper (#125409)
Lucky Limeaid, Whisper White, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Island Indigo card stock 
Island Indigo and Real Red Classic Ink Pads
Pursuit of Happiness set (#121907 wood, #121970 cling)
Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (#120805)
Ornament Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, 1" Circle punch





Step 1:  Punch 5 ornaments from the Real Red Designer Series Paper, 2 circles from the Real Red card stock, and 2 circles from the adhesive sheets.  Stick the adhesive circles to the card stock.  


Step 2:  Pinch a pleat into the base of the ornament to create a petal shape.


Step 3: Overlap the petals on the adhesive circle base.


Step 4:  Use second adhesive circle to cover the center and secure the petals in place.


Step 5: Embellish the flower center, here I used the Boho Blossoms Punch and layered a couple little flowers on the center, and polished it off with an adhesive pearl.  Flowers adhere best using Stampin' Dimensionals on the back center.

Enjoy!
