Different styles of flowers...

Hi everyone....Vicky here today to share with you how I make my flowers using various dies to make different styles of flowers....

and these are the dies I have used...

Lotus die

Pretty Poinsettia die

Rolled Rose Small & Medium dies

Open Leaf Flourish die

and this how I made one of my gorgeous flowers...

Die-cut your Lotus die, Pretty Poinsettia and a circle using various coloured card..

Layer your two largest Lotus die petals...add the circle...

then layer onto of your Pretty Poinsettia...they look just like leaves...

and I also use the Pretty Poinsettia as single leaves too...

by cutting them into three leaves and giving them a little shaping too...

and here are some cards for some inspiration for you...

  

For the first card using the adorable Marci with Tulip, I have die-cut the Lotus Die and added some Pretty Poinsettia leaves...

And for the second card, I used gorgeous Secret Admirer  Luka...the Lotus die,Rolled Rose Small and Medium dies and the Open Leaf Flourish die to give a more dimensional  flower..

and here is my card using the flower I made for my tutorial...and I also added a pretty Butterfly from the Butterflies set 1 dies..

So I hope I have given you some inspiration on how to make different styles of flowers...

and thanks so much for stopping by too...
