Christmas Rose

Hi there and welcome back..

I have a beautiful flower to share with you today and its super easy to make... All you need is one of these...Stampin'Up! Fun Flower Punch.. Not got one just click on the picture at the end of this post to order one....

 

 

Aren't they just gorgeous, I'm calling them the Christmas Rose but you could make them in any colour for any occasion.. And here is how to make them...

 

First punch out 6 of the Fun Flowers... in what ever colour you want I used Real Red and Cherry Cobbler...

 

Then using your paper snips cut between each petal, making sure you don't cut all the way through...

 

Then using a paint brush or something similar you are going to curl the petals around the handle like so...

 

Then put 3 flowers aside and starting with one petal curl it around really tight and glue it..

 

Bring up the opposite petal and add a tiny bit of glue to hold it, carry on until all 6 petals have been glued up...

 

 This is he center of your flower...

 

 Take the 2nd flower and pop some glue in the center...

 

 Put the bud you created in the center and hold until stuck...

Take the 3rd flower and pop some glue in the center.. Lift the petals of the 2nd flower and stick in the middle of the 3rd flower, hold until stuck...

 

Put this to one side for a moment..

 



 Take the last 3 flowers and put glue in the middle of two of them..

 

 Then layer them one on top of the other making sure you offset the petals as above..

 

Once this has dried, take the first 3 flowers that you made into a bud and stick them in the middle...

 

Like so, once dried you can arrange the petals as you like, although I found it didn't need much doing to it at all...

 

For the leaves I cut out a large leaf from the Leaflets Framelits and cut it as above...

 

 Then I stuck them together...

 

 And glued them under the flower... They are so beautiful...

 

 

 This one I added some glitter around the edges of the petals..

I am afraid the photo's just don't do them justice, they really are quite stunning...
