Dovecraft paper blossoms

Here are the blossoms given a little 3d treatment...plus Fizzy Moon wedding decoupage balanced on a spring!! Not saying the Mrs has put on weight, but he looks a bit wobbly :-)

Flowers

Thanks to the lovely Karen at Birds in the Barn, I've got the hang of roses now. I was using the wrong glue and not flattening their bottoms as much as I should!

Using a six petal punch you need four flowers and two apples! Hopefully you can see how ive cut into them and stuck them together. Then turn over and dent bottoms. I'm using a wooden stick or embossing tool.
The glue is Glossy Accents by Ranger.
Cut stalk off apples, curl and place in centre upside down. Tadaa!

Now on demo I'm adapting this to produce 3D flowers with the Dovecraft paper blossoms.
