1.) Use printed paper, or make your own by stamping on solid paper. Don't worry - it doesn't have to be perfect or even line up - you won't see the detail on the finished flower

Rolled Flower Tutorial
Just a quick tutorial on how I make my rolled flowers.
2.) Cut the flower using a die- I used Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms for this tutorial. I store all my Spellbinder dies in empty CD cases and have them organized by shape.
3. Ink the edges for a more solid looking flower. Cosmetic sponge wedges that you can find at the dollar store are an inexpensive way to ink.
4. Using a quilling tool for a tight flower center roll the flower. You only need the quilling tool for the first inch or so. Roll the rest of the way by hand.
Easy Peasy - Your beautiful finished flower!

This IS a beautiful flower! I love the extra texture that the background stamping adds. And I agree, I think that die needs to find its way in my stash! I bet the quilling tool is a big help, too.. thanks for the tip. Beautiful as always, girlie!!
