This flower would be so fun to use for a birthday or baby shower present topper. And it's so easy to make.
It's a combination of Dawn McVey's technique to create flowers with non-flower dies, and the Retrosketch layout challenge.
Just die cut a few of the Banner Border E and F cuts, glue the straight edge, and pinch them together. You can use your new petals as-is, or layer them like I did here. Then put some glue on a small punched circle, and lay that on top of all the petals so they stay together as a flower. Burlap and another small circle punch on top complete the center.
It really couldn't get any easier. Thanks for looking!
Supplies:
- PTI Banner Builder Dies
- PTI Leafy Vine Border Die
- PTI cardstock
- PTI Think Big Favorites #1
- Burlap
- American Crafts Texture Stamp
