Hero Arts Swirl Flower

Good Thursday morning.  I have posted Christmas projects the last few days and decided to change it up and try out my new Hero Arts Paper Layering Swirl Flower.  I paired the flower with the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Rectangle Stackables and My Favorite Things Leafy Greenery

Right off let me say that I think this die cut is really beautiful just the way it is.  But there was something driving me to add more dimension and I just couldn’t help myself.

I cut the flower out three times.  Well not exactly.  I didn’t want to waste paper so I cut sections of cardstock out just large enough to cover the middle petal layers out and then repeated with a small piece of cardstock for the tiny center petals.  I used my snips to cut the small tabs all the around that were holding the petals in place. I repeated cutting the tiny petals section.

I laid all the sections face down on my molding pad and formed the petals with my large stylus.  I turned the sections face up and pushed down in the center with my stylus to draw all the petals up.  It was a little tricky with the large outer section since they all remained attached together but I managed.  I wanted to build the layers up so I attached both the middle petal section and the smallest petal section to the card base with mounting tape.  The flower was attached to the card base with glossy accents.

I formed a few pieces of foliage using my stylus and molding pad and tucked them in under the flower petals and attached with glossy accents.  I added a large snow pearl to the flower center for the finishing touch.

  2. Your flowers are ALWAYS so gorgeous and this is no exception. I love this die (another must have for me) and what you have done to the flower to make it come to life. I am a true paper crafter and I LOVE layering on my cards. It’s my trademark.
