Not Quite Floral Punch Craft

Mothers birthday Card
I loved making this card, my loving husband punched out all of the shapes for me from a Pear Punch each petal of the roses are made from 1 punched out pear I then used my bone folder to shape the individual petals then carefully glued them together to form the roses.
I then took other smaller full flower punched shaped and used a ball tool to cup chape them and added tiny pearls to the centre of each flower, the stalks were made by twisting green strips of paper into stalk shapes then glueing the smaller flowers on top the leaves were cut out free hand.
I used the oval nestabilities the scalloped in the same deep red as the rose and the plain oval in the same light cream as the base card.





It's hard to believe
that the shapes from
this pear punch was
made into these
roses

What d'yer mean? 'Not Quite Floral Punch Craft'? You used a punch and turned the shapes into flowers and that's exactly what floral punch craft is. OK, traditionally roses are made with a heart punch but I reckon the pear is just as good, if not better. Leone Em would be proud! It's a beautiful card Jak and considering you don't have the right tools - other than the creative brain, it's exceptional.
