52 Cards challenge - Week 39

Morning everyone!

This week's prompt is inspired by my recent die purchase.

I have long admired rolled flowers on cards and handmade items, and well... I've made them from scratch a number of times, but dies just make life easier!

So, I invested in some rolled roses, a rolled retro flower and a rolled loopy flower die from MFT to go with my existing rolled flower die from Memory Box Dies.

So you've probably guessed that this week's challenge is to make a card featuring at least one rolled flower.

Now if this is a completely new technique to you, there are plenty of tutorials on Youtube to help you out.

And for a little pictorial inspiration here are a few examples of rolled flowers...

Paper flowers where you just cut a spiral from a circle of paper:

A rolled pompom flower made from felt (I now have a die to make this) but doing it from scratch is fun too!:

And finally try making rolled flowers from ribbon:

The possibilities are endless!

Here's the card I made:

Paper: Pink Paisleee
Dies: MFT, PTI, Sizzix, Cheery Lynn
Stamp: PTI
Pearls: Prima
Other: 3D foam, pattern wheel

Hope you have fun playing and creating your rolled flowers! :o)
