I cut out a bunch of petal shapes and spritzed with water. Then I touched each with a little drop of reinker. The moisture helps the colour to spread and gives a natural look. The leaves are done the same way. Cut these shapes with decal or postage edged scissors. After they dry I folded them in half and ran them through the crimper. Assemble the petals ..poof a Rose!

OH my goodness, this is one of the prettiest flowers I've ever seen! Any advice on the petal shapes? I have arthritis and can't use scissors well. Punches? So beautiful!

Any petal shape will do. These petals are about 1 & 2 inches long. A punch would work depending on the size you want the flower to be and the size you feel comfortable working with.
