After many trials over the past couple months of making paper flowers that ended in tears and frustration, I think I finally have the hang of it!
I started by cutting 3-4 of each size of the three smallest nestie blossom dies from PTI Melon Berry. I then stamped PTI Polka Dot Basics II, using the smallest dots for the smallest blossom and working my way up. After cutting and distressing by crumpling them up, I layered them and secured with a brad. The bottom two or three layers I had to attach with glue since the brad wasn't quite long enough.
I totally cased this layout by dahlhousedesigns, swissdotting & inking some kraft, then inking a big scallop rustic white square with SU Blush Blossom. The sentiment is from Wplus9 The Birds & The Bees, with the flag trimmed using the same big scallop nestie.
