I used the Tim Holtz tattered Flowers die and this double sided patterned paper...and at 70p a sheet it won't break the bank.Cut 4 in the large flower for the top, 4 smaller flowers for the centre and 4 large flowers for the lower layer in a contrast patterned paper
Fold each flower in half and then quarters... use a hot glue gun to glue together, this is quicker than using wet glue (if you use wet glue use a peg to hold until dry).
You may have to tear some petals to make them lie flat...Curl your petals
Punch a circle... glue one set of four flowers to the circle. Glue the smaller flowers inside this set of four.Turn the flower upside down and glue the contrast flowers to the circle..the petals should curl in the opposite direction.
Make a hole in the centre... push a piece of florists wire through, bend the end.
Secure with hot glue and add aflat back gem..
Peony or anenome.... you decide.
I love 'em no matter what they are Effie but I think they look more like peonies. Great idea.
