Die-cut flower petals with Peony Dies.
Die cut scrap of Basic Gray cardstock with Peony Dies.
Start from largest to smallest or smallest to largest to build your flower by sliding each of the layers inside each other. Tip: the bottom of each of the flower petals will match up along the bottom edge of the die-cuts.
This is what the back of the flower will look like once all the layers are in place.
I used liquid glue to adhere the bottom of each layer together.
Slide mini dimensionals between the petal layers as desired to give more depth to the flower. Tip: remove the backing paper from both sides before trying to insert the dimensionals for best results.
This is what the front of the completed flower will look like.
Adhere flower to card front with dimensionals.
