I am not sure if you have seen the Roses made with SU!'s Ornament Punch, but I have seen them.  I just HAD to make one!  They look so soft and real!  I will walk you though how to make one, so you too can have one of these Beautiful creations!!



First off, punch out all your ornaments and 1 3/8" circle (I used Whisper White from SU!) I lost count of how many ornaments I punched out, just keep going until you get the look you desire.  And then sponge (if desired) both sides of bottom of punch.



using either a pencil or other round object (I used an embossing tool) curl up the edges.  Then with circle in middle place the curled punches at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 positions of the clock.



When going to next layer go between the last layer you put down.  Keep working your way to the center, as you get closer curl your petals even tighter.   It should look like the picture above when you are done.  To make center stay sticking up straight I poured a little Crystal Effects from SU! in the middle and just held the center upright for a few minutes and it stayed put!!    This is the most realistic Rose I have ever seen made with paper!!  Well, there is another one I saw the other day that uses a different punch and it is quite realistic too.  I'll try to show you that one too at a later date.

Here is a bigger picture so you can really see:



Hope you like it!!!
