Flower Tutorial - Spellbinders Rose Creations Die Flower

Flower Tutorial - Spellbinders Rose Creations Die Flower
Hi everyone.  I recently showed these little creations in a previous post but didnt do a tutorial as I found it on another bloggers site.  In my post I gave you the link to the tutorial on Gabrielle's blog.  However, a few of you have asked me to do a tutorial on how I made mine.  So, I asked Gabrielle would she mind and she has very graciously and kindly given me the go ahead to do my own tutorial on these flowers.  Thank you Gabrielle.  She has a beautiful site so if you want to visit her gorgeous blog, click here.

So here is what you will need
Spellbinders Rose Creations Die
You will need the Spellbinders Rose Creations Die. HOWEVER....it can be made with different dies, for example the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die or maybe flowers from a couple of different punches or hand cut flowers of your own.
Glue - I use hot glue but you can use whichever you feel comfortable with.  Wet glues work just as well but will take a little bit longer to set.
Embossing tool or the rounded end of a pen.
White Cardstock (I use 300gsm) or if you prefer, patterned card stock or papers.
Distress Inks (optional)
Piece of foam or back of a mouse mat.

Now for the fun stuff.....
1. Cut 1 small, 1 next up, 1 next up again and 2 of the next size up

2. Ink all your flowers
So you need 5 flowers to make this flower.  So starting from the smallest cut, you need

1 x smallest flower
1 x next flower size up
1 x next flower size up to the last
2 x next flower size up again

If you are using plain cardstock and wish to add colour, you can use distress inks to ink each flower like photo 2.
3.  All flowers inked up

4.Take smallest petal and emboss the petal

5. Turn small flower into bud
Once you have all your flowers inked (if you chose to do this - photo 3), its time to make the centre of your flower.

Take the smallest flower, and place inked side down onto a piece of foam or the back of a mouse mat.  Using your embossing tool or rounded end of a pen in circular motions emboss the petals of the flower (photo 4).  This breaks the fibres in the paper and makes it easier to mould into a bud shape.

Form this little flower into a bud, and glue it to stay in this position.  I have other tutorials showing how I do this. (photo 5).

Once glued, set this bud aside until you need it.
6. Fold petals into pointed ends

7. Do this to the remaining flowers

Now, taking the remaining flowers, pinch or fold over the end of the petals to make it into a point. (photo 6 and 7).
8. Push thumb nail into petal and push forward

9. Here you can see how the petal is shaped

10. Do this to all 4 flowers

Once you have all the petals folded into a point, you need to shape the petals.  You need to take the petal point between your finger and thumb and with your other thumb, press your nail into the bottom of the petal whilst pushing the petal point forward. Do this with all the petal.  It creates a sort of bowl in the middle of the flower....see photos 8 and 9.

You can see what it should look like in photo's 9 and 10.  Do it to all 4 flowers.
11. Stack on top of each other and pinch in petals around the bud

12. Add next layer

13.  Add final layer

Now all you need to do is glue the flower together.  Place some glue on the bottom of the bud and place it into the next sized flower. Press the petals in around the bud.  See Photo 11.  Makes sure you alternate the petals as you glue them together.

Now, you can add as many or as little layers as you like, depending on the size of flower you would like.  The photos above shows you what the flower looks like with each added layer.

And that's it, your flower is made.  Here is what they look like.

Coloured using walnut stain distress inks


Coloured using Old Paper Distress Ink

Using different coloured Distress Inks

Here I have used the leaves from the Spellbinders Rose Creations Die
I coloured these 2 with Wild Honey and Victorian Velvet

Here I have added leaf veins to the leaves by embossing the
 lines on the back of the leaf and then colouring with Pine Needle Distress Ink over them

The end results

Distress Inks Used:

Walnut Stain,
Old Paper,
Victorian Velvet,
Wild Honey and,
Pine Needles for the leaves.

That's it folks.  Hope you will make these beautiful flowers and I look forward to seeing your results.  Have fun and as usual if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.  All comments and questions are greatly received and appreciated.

Have a lovely crafty day.
