I've wanted to try making paper flowers for a long time. Finally did it and then had to figure out how to use them. Took some book pages, soaked them in tea and scrunched them up white still wet. After drying with my heat gun, I cut one piece to use as a background panel then used 2 scalloped circle punches and punched 3 of the larger size and 2 of the smaller size for each flower. The size of the punches will determine the size of the flower. Layer the 3 larger circles with 2 smaller circles and secure in the center with a brad. Pull the layers apart. I sponged the distress ink on white cardstock and distressed the edges and layered with black cardstock and burlap. Painted a chipboard label white and sponged with distress ink.
Die cut green leaves and flurishes and added pearls and twine.
