"In this cardmaking tutorial I make a gorgeous card using cut out decoupage from a sheet of 12x12inch paper from Anna Griffins range of fabulous papers. I finish off the card with the matching leaves and paper curls. This looks like a time consuming card but apart from the cutting out of the flowers, it is quite quick & easy and all from 1 sheet of paper."

How to Decoupage Flowers

Instructions

Cut out layer for the base card, then cut aperture out
Stamp a sentiment on a matching piece of card, positioned under the aperture so it is stamped in the right place.

Cut out the flowers form the scrapbooking sheet and die cut the leaves, inking the edges as you go
Make the paper curls
Make the bow from the die
Attach card sentiment layer on to base card, but position it so the aperture will fit over it.
