To make the flower I used the scallop punch from Stampin'Up! and punched from Orchid Opulence. Then I used repositional tape and stuck the scallop to thin printer paper. Stuck it back in the punch and lined it up to where the valleys of the scallop punch were lined up with the peak of the cut scallops. Make sense? Then punch again. Now take Perfectly Plum and sponge ink the center and outside egdes before cutting the petals. Find the center and punch a small hole for the brad that will go on last. Use this hole for reference. Curl the edges using the bone folder. Then you just make cuts down each valley with scissors alternate shorter one then longer one. I'll post pictures in my gallery
