Glimmer Distressed Blooms with Carla

Design team member Carla is back today to share her brand new flower tutorial!  Here's Carla to tell us all about it...

So recently have I made this layout for the wonderful May challenge at My Creative Sketches.

Hope you come join for fun and so thrilled take a look at the sketch and amazing prize up for grabs!

That's not all... time to give you another tutorial.  You never can get enough flowers.  I like to share for fun with you how I have made this distressed bloom.  What I have just there for leftover designer paper.

 All you need is a glimmer mist and a flower punch.

Lightly spray them on one side.

They do not have to be really wet.

Just gently crumple them up.

Just like so.

Then let it dry or use a heatgun.

When dry gently undo the petals letting the crumple shape stay in the petals.

Glue them all together with a dab of glue in the centers.

And a Prima little flower in the center and some beads with glue.

Here is a close up of the finished flower.

I hope I inspired you today with this fun flower tutorial.

We hope you will give Carla's flower technique a try!  We'd love to see your creations uploaded to our gallery.
