Cardstock Flower by Amber Lawrence
Supplies:
-
Cardstock, large enough to punch 8 scalloped circles from (I used Basis Light Yellow)
-
Scalloped circle punch
-
Paper piercer
-
Brad
-
Optional: Ink and sponge
Steps:
-
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!
