FILIGREE FLOWER---A TUTORIAL

HI FRIENDS!!!

I,m Anita here, bringing to you a tutorial on Filigree Flower. Well, I,ve not seen this flower any where and its just got created in my brain as I sat with my new Spellbinder Dies-Les Pappillion. Crafters Corner has in stock all the new spellbinders and that too at very reasonable rates.

So as I stared at this beautiful die of four intricate butterflies, I just thought how nice  a  flower would look with all those intricate petals. And I gathered all the stuff needed and began my experiment.

So lets begin !!!!! We will use spellbinders dies LES PAPPILLION  in a different way.
Before I start with my tutorial, let me tell you that I,m very bad at taking photos and so please bear with my poor pic quality.

 Supplies---patterned paper or any paper of your choice, LES PAPPILIONS, silicone glue, distress inks, scissors, tweezer, pollens

 Using my BIG SHOT--I cut out several cut outs from both the papers. You will require about 4 pieces of both colours.

 Then , I distressed the edges of the die cuts.

Then, cut out the four wings of the butterfly.

 Put a blob of silicone on a 1'' circle paper.

 First arrange the upper wings around the glue. This will be the outer layer.

 Continue building up layers till all the wings have been used.

 Now,, tie a thread around the pollens very close to the head.

 Cut off the pollen head

Put it on the centre of the flower and let it dry.

Use as required.

I have used it on a card. The leaves and head pins are from crafters corner. The store has all the materials for flower making. So do visit us for all your crafty needs.

The challenge 1 is still going on and the theme is celebrate with flowers. So do play along as more you  participate, the prize size will increase.
