How to make a paper flower

How to make a paper flower:
1. Grab your supplies you need to make your flower Mine are: circle punch, cuttlebug, flower nestie (3 different sizes), 2 different colors of cardstock for the flower, brad, and embossing template.
2. Make the base of the card or layout first before working on your flower.
3. Make your flower, either run your paper through the cuttlebug with nesties or use punches to make your flower.  (I used about 3 layers, gives it more of a realistic look).
4. If you don’t want to add more texture to your flower, move onto step
5.  For more texture, emboss your flowers.
6. All flower layers can be done at once, smash the flowers about 6 to 7 times.  I form mine into a ball.
7. Open up your flower ball, and put to the side.
8. Punch out a small circle for the center of your flower. Cut little slits around outter edge, and fold them upward.
9. Place all of the layers together in order (flowers and center), and add brad into the center.
10.  Add your flower to your project.
11. Add any finishing touches, and maybe play with the layers of the flower to get them where you want. Here is what my card looks like with my flower.
Happy flower making!
