Random Week - Pauline Wheeler

Helloooo,

Happy Saturday everyone, the weekend is here again!

Hope you have lots of good things planned, maybe some crafting??

Well I'm sure you know now that it is random week here 

and today is Pauline's turn.  I picked these flowers by Pauline

as I think they are so lovely.  Anyone who sees me at the shop

will know that I love making flowers but I have not had a go

using these paints before.....something else for my shopping list!

This is how Pauline made them -

Paint thin black card with the paint...

Die cut four flowers from each colour used. I've used Tim Holtz 

Tattered Florals Die. You can use any punch or die that

 has six petals...

From one flower cut out one petal. From another cut out two

 joined together. For the third flower just cut to the centre and 

on the fourth cut a cross in the centre...

Curl all the petals back...

Take the single petal and roll it into a cone and glue down the

 edge.  I use Glossy Accents as it dries really quickly. If the rose

 is to be on a stem roll the cone around the stick...

Repeat making a cone with the two petal piece glue the edge. Add

 glue to the first petal base  and put the stick through the base of

 the second layer...

With the flower that has one petal removed cut out a little semi

 circle, this is for the stem to pass through, and cut off the top

 of one petal and overlap the petals then stick together...

Repeat for the layer with two petals removed.

For the next layer cut the top of the petal, remove a semi circle 

again and just stick together...

Either thread the layers onto the stick or layer them together then

 thread onto the stick, gluing each layer...

Colour the wooden sticks with a marker pen in green and die cut

 some rose leaves. Stick these to the stems.

Repeat for each of the painted flowers.

Aren't they gorgeous??  I think they are so pretty.

 Ok, if you want to have a go, this is what you need -

DecoArt Interference Paints

Glossy Accents

Thin Black Card
