LAYERED FLOWER

SIMPLE LAYERED FLOWER
A nice easy technique for this week...simply chose three or more punches of the same shape but of a different size, cut one or two of each size, stack them (offsetting the petals) and secure with a split pin.  Gently shape the petals.  You can do this with your fingers after construction or, if you want a more shaped result, use an embossing or paper tole tool on a soft mat to add dimension before assembling.  Of course, option three is just to stack them up with no shaping at all, which can sometimes be most appropriate, especially if you are using it on a card that needs to be posted flat in an envelope
