When I saw this challenge this morning, I remembered this paper technique from this tutatorial by Julie williams. You begin with a flower punch, then you go from there. I didn't have the flower punch used, so I used a cuttlebug flower die.
Then I did the rest as shown in the tutatorial. It isn't easy for me, but I think it makes a beautiful flower! I wanted to do this for a 85 year old that I visited today in the rehab. She just broke her hip and had a hip replacement. So, I took it to her this afternoon after I made it, and she loved it! Thanks for looking!

What an awesome rose. Really pretty color too and the best part is that you already gave it away. Isn't that what cards are for? To give someone a lift.

Gorgeous card. Love all the purple. Your flower is so pretty. I agree with peggysue, extra points for "already" giving this to someone in need of uplifting. WOW on all points. TFS :0)
