Cardstock Flower by Amber Lawrence

• Cardstock, large enough to punch 8 scalloped circles from (I used Basis Light Yellow)
• Scalloped circle punch
• Paper piercer
• Brad
• Optional:  Ink and sponge

• Punch 8 scalloped circles from cardstock
• Crumple each circle into a tight ball.  A light mist of water on the cardstock can help to crumple easier.

• Open the crumpled circles and ink the edges with your choice of ink.  An ink sponge or a make-up sponge works great!

• Stack all of the scalloped circle on top of each other and pierce a hole through the center using your paper piercer.  Hold tightly together and secure them all in place with a brad.

• Starting in the center, gather each circle together at the top, scrunching each one.

• Arrange the circles how you like them to create a beautiful flower.

I added mine to the front of a great card made using Pop Tone Glitter bordered A-2 Folded card!
