I found this pattern on the internet (I wish I could remember where, if you know please tell me). I wanted to show you how I put together the flowers.
Start out first with a flower template.
I printed the template on a sheet of regular paper. I think put that template on top of 2 sheets of cardstock. I cut out the template and the cardstock at the same time. This way I would have 3 flowers when I finished.
Next I took my Tim Holtz's distress inks (in Dusty Concord, Chipped Sapphire, Broken China, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, Festive Berries, Evergreen Bough, Peeled Paint, and
Worn Lipstick). I may have done this step backwards but I wanted the edges to be inked that is why I inked it this way. It was more difficult I won't lie but I like the way the edges look. I inked both sides of each flower.

After I inked the flowers, I dropped drops of water on the flowers, and then I scrunched up the petals into flower type shapes. This is sort of time consuming but I think it is totally worth it.
