Default Fabulous Flowers Layers

Can someone please explain to me how to cut out the large flower in the Fabulous Flowers set. I love the multi-layered look, but I cannot figure out where/how to cut the inside layers at.
Thanks so much!

Here is a photo of the layers that I use...I know everyone does it different, but if it helps you out, here you go!! I cut just the orange petals for the first layer, the orange and green for the second, all the colored for the third, and the whole flower for the fourth!!

This is one of my favorite sets to use. I have used it more than once to make cards for my mom who loves flowers.

This card has 4 layers: Fabulous Flowers for Cleo
The petals are pushed up on the edges. I think it will help you to see where it is cut.



This one has 5 layers: Cleo's Groovy Birthday
The petals are also pushed up so that you can see the layers. I also turned the layers so that they don't exactly match up to the stamp. I was trying to make it look very full.

Hope this helps!

These are gorgeous cards. I've got the set and have never thought to turn the layers to make it look fuller. It looks more real that way. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks. I spent over an hour yesterday going through the SU gallary looking at all of the Fabulous Flowers cards to get ideas for this fabulous stamp.

Thanks again.
