I love making felt flowers with border dies, so I decided to make another one for this week's
Make It Monday Challenge. I used the large scallop border die again (see my other large scallop border die flowers
here and
here), but this time I snipped a tiny triangle out the of the top of each scallop before I started pleating the flower. I pleated at every notch (including the ones made by the die) for the small flower (bottom left) and only the notches I cut for the large flower (bottom right). If you look really closely at the flowers you might be able to see what I'm talking about.
One thing I love about these flowers is that they lay really flat, and even when I doubled them up, they didn't really add too much bulk to the card.
Supplies (all PTI unless otherwise noted)
Stamps: Botanical Silhouettes, Turning a New Leaf
Ink: Buckaroo Blue (SU), Spring Moss
Paper: Dark Chocolate, Kraft, Chatter Box Paper Scraps
Other: Large Scallop Border Die, Vintage Buttons, Felt
This one is awesome too and I can't believe how simple it was to make. Thank you for the step by step photos. I can't wait to try.
