Making a Flower with stamps!

I know we all have some type of circle stamp somewhere in our pile of goodies, so why not use it to make a unique flower?

 

First you will need: (see photo1)

*circle stamp

*pattern paper of your choice

*circle punch OR you can handcut

*glue dots

*a finishing embellishment of your choiceSO108

I simply stamped the image onto my pattern paper 6 times.  I only use 5 circles but usually do a test run of one.

Punch out the circles.  Or if you choose you can hand cut these.

Next you will take one side of the circle and pinch it together to make a slight fold.  Use a glue dot to hold it together.

Continue doing this until you have 5 flower petals.

Grab 2 of the petals and stick them together with a glue dot.  Continue this with the rest of the petals.  When you have all 5 together you will have to play with it a little to make an actual flower shape.  When you have achieved the look you like, simply add a glue dot to hold together.
