I just love making my own embelishments. It's really super fun to create tini tiny embelishments. I am very fond of making my own flowers. Flowers not only enhance the beauty of projects , also makes the world more beautiful. Our earth is a very beautiful planet and filled with various amazing things. But the flowers on earth are God's precious creation.

"Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world".

Today I create bunches of flowers using Mudra's Gardenia die. As you all know Mudra's Gardenia die is very versatile, you can create various flower. Here I am showing 2 types of flowers which are very simple to create. I also create a pictorial of rose flower. Hope you like it.

1st project:-

First I cut the flower making paper using Mudra's Gardenia die. Here I use "The Secret Garden" flower making paper. You can also use iris paper of 230 gsm.
For the small rose I use 4 flowers of the same size and for the big flower I use 5 flowers of the same size.

Color the flowers . ( here I am using spun sugar).

Slightly shape the flowers using a simple brush as shown in the pic.

Take a Styrofoam buds and glue a flower as shown. (If you don't have Styrofoam buds, you can create a bud using kitchen foil. Just crush the foil and shape like a modak).
Note :- in first 2 layers curves are inside and in rest 2 layers curves are outside.

Glue all the petals on the bud. (HERE I am using Fevicol's All fix , you can use hot glue or any other strong glue).

Take your twizer and twist the edges of the petals. If you don't have twizer at the same time, you can do it by your hands also.

Glue the second layer as shown in pics below.

Also twist the edges of this layer.

Glue the third layer. ( Note:- This time curves are outside)

Do same with 4th layer.

Your flower is ready. You can apply glitter on it using glue that dries clear.

Bottom green part is also made by the same diecut. For the bunch I create 2 big flowers , some small flowers and some rose buds. For the buds I use only 1 layer.
Cut the leaves using Gardenia die and color with Olive green archival. Cut the edges using zig zag scissors. Mist the water on the leaves and shape them.
Slightly shade the leaves with caranation red archival.

Arrange all the elements using green floral tape in desire manner.

2nd project:-

These flowers are also made with Gardenia die and distress ink. I didn't upload the tutorial of this bunch because post is going too long. If you like these and want the tutorial, write in the comment section. Will upload in my next post.
