Paper flowers

Lately I've seen so many beautiful handmade paper flowers on scrapbook websites, I just had to give it a try myself.  So much fun!  For each flower, I punched two flower shapes from a five petal flower punch.  On one punched shape, I lightly curled each petal downward.  On the remaining one, I pinched the center of the flower, forcing all the petals to point upward. Then I gently manipulated each petal to create the flower shape shown.  I adhered both flowers to the page with liquid adhesive, then added a button to the center of each.  I love the results and it is so easy once you give it a try!
