PAPER FLOWERS TUTORIAL

You asked....I delivered...lol
Now for me this is a first...as i have actually done VIDEO...It was the only way to really show you!
I have tried loads of times over the years to do videos and have failed miserably everytime...as for 1....I HATE *with a passion* the sound of me voice on video...and 2...Evertime i was talking i would end up laughing...LOL
So now...armed with me FANTABULOUS camera.(Which does fabby videos too)..and tripod *OH called me a camera bore for buying a tripod* lol...i thought i would try again...lol
I don't do small talk in the vid...i tried to talk as little as possible..and spoke very 'matter of factly' haha
(It was the only way i could think of doing it without laughing) lol
The video is in 2 parts for easier uploading..(Its taken me 3 hours to upload them)
The Chloe monster wouldn't leave me be...so you have to put up with her too....and she humms Jingle bells...haha At one point she decides to move the tripod too...so you don't even see the finished flower as i end up pointing it in the WRONG place...lol
This is the Flower i make in the video

I guess at the end of the day...it doesn't really matter if i sound like a bloody monkey ..does it??? LMAO...as long as you learn how to do it...thats all that matters :)
IF you DO like the vid then i will probably try and do more on different things...as there are LOADS of things that i could show :) *Let's see how this goes down first...lol*
...but then it could only get easier ...right??? Hmmm....we shall see...lol
So......onto the Tutorial
TOOLS....you NEED these

I use the scallop punch from SU as it has DEEP scallops...other small scallop punches i have only have narrow scallops *bit like the nestie ones*...and i feel that you don't acheive the desired effect using a narrow scallop. If thats all that you have then you can still do it anyways :) The SU punch i THINK measures 1 3/4 "
You need a cropadile...or something similar that will punch a hole. You want an ink pad for distressing...any ink pad will do. Choose your paper, either single sided or dbl sided...punch 5 scallops out of your chosen paper ....AND now let the shame....erm video begin...lol



Hope you enjoy learning to make your flowers....and PLEASE be gentle with me :)
