Folded Paper Flower from Scraps


Today's card was inspired by a challenge on Nancy's Creative Space.  The base card is a blank one from Paper Wishes.  This was my first time for making a rosette and it was surprisingly easy to make, and both the rosette & the leaves/stem came from scraps.  Nancy's blog gives you great directions for creating the rosette. I used a large brad for the center of the flower and a punch along one edge (before folding it) to create holes to thread the ribbon through.  The stem and leaves were drawn free-hand onto green paper and then shaded a bit with chalks.  The sentiment was cut with my Silhouette.
