What a glorious site to visit for our challenge to-day. This beauty really inspired me http://www.harabuhouse.com/item/MAR-...ER-TOTE/76/c55 The flower was made by cutting three squares of card stock (two 3x3 and one 2x2) and punching the corners with Martha Stewart's embroidered floral corner punch. Snip to the centre to make petals and curl the edges around the skewer. The leaves are a sizzix die the background is Cheery Lynn square lace frame. I stuck it down with double sided tape and sprinkled glitter on top. Sparkly thread and floral pearl sprays kind of make it look like a corsage. The background is a crackle stamp from PSX.
NOTE~
In answer some questions: Once you punch the corners find the centre of the square. Start cutting in the middle on a flat side in to about a quarter inch from the centre mark. This will form 4 smaller squares. Start at the pointed side and roll toward the centre of each petal. This will give four rolled petals per large square.
