Filekutz Test Pansy

Good Morning Everyone! FileKutz is releasing a new file called "Flower Petal Blossoms".  LisaJane asked me to do a tutorial and this is one of the flowers I made for her.  Hope on over to the shop and purchase your file here and it's on $1.99

You will need a circle approximately 1 inch

3 large hearts cut at 1.2 x 1.27

2 small heart cut at 1.07 x 1.003

this totally depends on your finished flower

I inked all the edges and a bit in the

bottom center with blue

This just needs to be done to the front

as these will be glued to a card front

or a scrapbook  page and you 

will not see the backside

Then I inked the bottom center again with purple

I snipped just a tiny bit off of the bottom of

every petal (heart)

Using my zig glue pen I added a few "streakes"

to 2 of the petals

and added some glitter.  This totally depends

on how fancy you want to get. 

I manipulated ONLY the top of the petals

using my exacto knife rounded top

going in a circular motion

Then I shaped the petals in an outward motion

with my paper piercer

this is what the petals will look like.  The glittered petals

not do need to be manipulated as much.

Then I added a bit of score tape to the backside

of each petal towards the bottom.

This is what you will have

and started placing the glittered 

flowers first side by side

add your 2 smaller heart on each side of them

and then the last larger petal in the middle of them

I used my fine point black sharpie to add some

 lines inside the middle of each petal

and topped it off with a rhinestone

Here they are

really like the way these turned out

Now head on over to the Filekutz Designs blog and you can see more tutorials on how some of these flowers were made.  The ladies over there are wonderful and LisaJane really outdoes herself creating these wonderful files.
