Hi everyone
2 posts in one day! Can you tell my mojo's back!?!
I've got a tutorial for you today. When I posted my last card on docrafts last night, I was asked to make a tutorial of the large roses i'd made, so here it is! I'm not too good at tutorials, as I usually just make things up as I go along, so you might have to use your imagination a little bit for this to work. lol The instruction goes with the picture below.
What you'll need:
Double sided coloured paper
Co-ordinating ink pad
Brad (any colour or shape as it will be covered up)
Scissors
Pokey Tool
Glitter or any other decorations (optional)
1- Fold the paper about 5/6 times until you reach the end
2- Cut out 3 differnt sized petal shapes
(You'll end up with 5/6 of each, depending on how many times you folded the paper)
3- Ink the edges of each petal, and prick a hole, near the point, with a pokey tool (or similar)
4- Crumple each petal to add depth
5- Put all the petals on the brad. Starting with the small ones, then the medium, then the large.
6- Shape the small petals around the brad, to cover it up, and create a center
7- Shape the medium petals around the small, and then do the same for the large. You can play around with it untill you like the shape. And you can add more petals, glitter, glossy accents...what ever you want, for a different look.
The gold roses on the card i made yesterday are made this way, with an extra layer of petals and glitter glue on the edges as well as inks.
Thankyou for looking and i hope you understand.
