Kittie's Korner- Scalloped Flower Tutorial

Welcome to Kittie's Korner. I shared a project with you last week using a flower created with scalloped circles. I had many requests for a tutorial on how I made the flower and I am going to share that with you today.

Supplies for Flower: Scalloped Circle Nestabilities, 1 1/4", 1", and 3/4" Circle Punches, Decorative Scalloped Scissors, Martha Stewart Hydrangea Punch, Fiskars 1/4" Flower Punch, Adhesive (I use Ranger Matte Accents), Mouse Pad or Piercing Mat, Stylus, Snips

1. Create all your circles with your punches and dies.

2. Cut scallops around your three smaller circles with mini scalloped scissors. They don't have to be perfect....mine aren't.

3. Cut a pie shape out by cutting 1 or 2 scallops out of each circle.

4. Glue edges back together.

5. Cut half way down toward the center between every other scallop. You may want to cut only one out of the smaller circles.

6. Repeat 3, 4, and 5 to complete all of the circles.

7. Place flowers on mouse pad or piercing mat and soften the centers with a stylus. This helps for the flowers.

8. Form the smaller flower blossoms with a small tipped stylus and pressing down into the mat.

9. Attach layers together with adhesive. I started with the largest and finished with the smallest. The paper piercer helps postion and hold flowerlayers in place.

10: Finish your flower.

11. Finish your project. I used a sponge to apply Regal Rose ink to the layers to bring the flower to life. I attached a punched layer to a 4 x 4" card front and applied flower and foliage.
