Faux Pressed Flowers

Create a card with the look of vintage pressed flowers.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Stamp image onto cardstock.

   

2. Step 2

   Adhere additional cardstock or patterned paper layers.

   

3. Step 3

   Select the Paper flowers you want to add to your image and determine arrangement.
   
   Note:
   It is okay to layer them, however, it gets harder to roll through your machine with each added layer.

   

4. Step 4

   Add glue to the back of each flower.

   

5. Adhere flowers to stamped cardstock.
   
   Hint:
   Liquid adhesives will also work, but use sparingly so the glue doesn’t soak through when the flowers get pressed.

   

6. Step 5

   Insert the panel into the embossing folder and run through a die cut machine to emboss.

   

7. 

8. Step 6
