As I have been having fun with the Tim dies for the Tattered Florals, it reminded me that I used to use my punches to do similar things.As you can see, I punched loads of different flower shapes out of various papers, even mulberry paper.
This works best if you 'sandwich' the mulberry paper between ordinary copier paper, the mulberry is too flimsy on its own and just tears rather than punches.I'm using a large ball embossing tool and an old mouse mat to give the flowers a little shape.
Then its just a matter of layering them up together
in various combinations. I use a little Glossy
Accents, or silicone glue for this bit.
Final touch is the centres, I use either Glitter Glue, Stickles or Glossy Accents with either seed beads or loose glitter.
Last but not least are the leaves- again these are mainly punched from mulberry and handmade paper for effect. This fern leaf punch is by Woodware.
