Easy Rose Tutorial

Hello.


Here's an easy way to make your own paper roses like the ones on the card below--originally posted HERE.   (Jane has asked me to show her how, so Jane, this is for you!  Sorry it took me this long to getting this tutorial done.)


Supplies required:
- flower die or punch with 5-rounded petals

There are many available dies and punches, here are a few selections and as you can see, the resulting flowers are very similar:  

using Cheery Lynn Designs B155 Large Rose Die

using Spellbinders Heartfelt Creations HCD-701 Posy Patch Die

using EK Success large Retro Flower punch

- white cardstock--I used American Crafts 80 lb. (216gr./m²) 
- Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink stamp pad (any colour) and dauber/dabber
- spray bottle filled with tap water
- stylus and molding mat
- glue


Instructions:

Step 1
Punch or diecut flowers.  You need 4 (of the same size) to make one rose.

Step 2
Apply ink to the centres of each flower as shown.

Step 3
Spray a light mist--just enough water to dampen the paper to make the ink spread.  If too wet, just let dry a bit.

Step 4
Place the flowers on a molding mat--if you don't have one, you can use a rubber mouse pad.
Curl up each petal using a stylus (with a medium-size ball)--one flower with the inked-side down (this is for the centre bud) and the other 3 flowers with the inked-side up as shown.

Step 5
Cup the flowers to form different degrees of tightness/openness as shown.  Let completely dry.  When dry the flowers will be stiff.

Step 6
Take the flower with the ink on the outside and apply glue to all 5 petals.

Step 7
Bring the petals together to form a bud a shown.  Hold together until the glue holds.

Step 8
Apply glue to the centres of the other 3 flowers.

Step 9
Layer the 3 flowers off-setting the petals, then place the bud in the centre.





There you go!  Have fun creating your own roses.



And I've done a video tutorial too!
