So, you got your flower face all dried to a nice, loose cone shape from being pressed wet into the towel. Now take the flower face and place it upside down on the backside of a mousepad. Use a rounded, blunt object-I prefer a stylus for dry embossing on a light table.
Work the rounded end of the stylus into the tips and edges of the flower petals, moving back and forth. Keep in mind, it's not the pressure you apply that curls the paper, it's the repetitive motion in the same direction that breaks the fibers of the cardstock. So, EASY KILLER! ;)
When you've done this to all your faces, take a small hole punch or use the tip of your exacto knife to cut a center into each face. Insert a brad thru the hole in every layer. Don't set the brad just yet. If you want to add streamers or ribbons in-between the layers, do it now using clear glue. Then sandwich them together, open the back end of the brad so it holds them all together and woot woot: vagablooms! When the glue is dried, flip it over, an, using epoxy, attach a barette clip. Nice!
Hope you like these. A great way to use up ugly scraps and leftovers. xoxo!
