How to make a Paper Rose

Hi Bloggers,

I must confess I have been addicted to making paper roses lately. I just love it because I can make it whilst watching TV with my family. It is so easy and fun to do. I will try to show how I make this rose but before I start I apologize in advance for poor photography; my daughter and my son were my photographers during this "rose making" experience. Ow! also apologise for the condition of my nails I just finished making cards and I have been using lots of Distressing...a big apology for my fat fingers too.... lol.

So - here we go, lets begin......

4862 Scallop Punch

2. Ink/distress the edges of the scallops with Chestnut Roan
