Paper Flowers

After many hours on YouTube, watching some of the fantastic tutorials I decided to give paper flowers a try.  Glimmer mist seemed to be popular, and one tutorial I found, showed how to make your own.  I mixed acrylic paint, mica powder, water and glue and was really pleased with the results.
For the flowers I used a scalloped punch and punched 8 pieces.  Then painted both sides.  I pierced a brad through the centre of all 8 pieces and then, whilst the petals were still wet, one petal at a time scrunched up around the brad.  I slowly teased each petal back out in to the shape I wanted.  I love this quick and cheap technique.
Here is the result..............

After I took this picture I finished off the flowers by sprinkling some glitter powder over the top which really made them sparkle!
