I've been playing again and these are the more successful ones - a few did hit the bin.
This first one was made using a new set of rubber stamps which gives you the layers to build up a rose.
I then played around cutting petals freehand in 3 different sizes cutting 5 of each (I always find odd numbers look better) and I dont know about you but I thought this was more of a water lily.
Next I cut loads of 'wispy' bits of card and five small circles. Then by one of those weird coincidences I had cut 30 wisps and 5 circles (no counting or measuring involved before hand) so I glued 6 wisps to each circle and then layered these up, I think of this one as a dahlia.
Finally I started to play with some circle nestabilities with a zig zag edge. I cut the 3 smallest sizes from hammered card and lightly rubbed a stamp pad over the surfaces
then I cut into each circle between the zig zags
amd having flicked some of the pieces with my finger nail I ended up with this
which is so far nameless.
Watch out for more ideas coming your way shortly.

Gorgeous flowers Bee!
Beautiful flowers Bee, is the top one which you stamp a Papermainia stamp set?
Hi ladies - yes Gillian it is the Papermania set.
It makes a lovely flower, just a little bit fiddly to cut out but worth it.
