I hope you are all well. I hate talking about the weather all the time, but I hope you are all coping with all this awful rain.
Today's tutorial is a flower made from the Spellbinders delicate Asters.
It was a request by Denise to see if a Chrysanthemum could be made from the Aster die instead of the Enchanted Mum die from Heartfelt Creations.
Well here is my version, you decide. I didn't colour or emboss it, but I think it could look just as good with some embossing and some colour, what do you think?
Here goes!
These are all the items you will need
These are the cuts you need
One of the large petals I folded under, and the rest I curled upwards
Start layering them together
This is the flower when finished. I think would look nice as a water lily, or is that just me!
Then curl the petals in different directions, do as much or as little as you like.
This is my finished flower along side last weeks Chrysanthemum. Just imagine if you stamp & emboss and colour it, I think this flower is just as pretty, it's just as quick and effective . Dazzler optional, looks good with pearls too.
That's it. Any more idea's for a tutorial?
hope you liked this tutorial too. What do you reckon Denise! See you all soon. X

Hi Tina. WOW This is a fantastic version of last weeks tutorial as i didnt have the mum but had the aster dies. You have made a wonderful job of showing me how to make this beautiful flower and i have to agree with you that it does look like a water lily. I will let you know how mine turn out. Thank you for all your help. I am a little bit like you and sick of all this rain it just doesn't seem to have stopped here for the last two weeks. I live in Co/Durham and in the last two weeks we have had gale force winds, poured down with rain and then to finish off we had snow on Saterday. All i want is a couple of hours of sunshine as i hate having to go out with so many clothes on just to try and keep warm. Sorry for the rant lol. Have a lovely weekend and try not to get into any sticky situations lol. Hope everything is ok with clare and the rest of your family.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes.

Hi Tina, thank you so much for sharing this, the flowers look stunning, I love them and will try this method. Must rush as I am just getting ready to go to the hospital for my eye surgery, not looking forward to this believe me.

Hi Tina, a fantastic tutorial I was always going to try the Asre die to do a Chrysanthemum but never got around to it and gave in and bought the die not received it yet wish you had done this last week and saved me some money not to worry I'm sure I will use it lots.

Hi Tina, both flowers are beautiful, but I don't have either set, so am now left with a problem of which set to purchase, and advice would be helpful. Your tutorials are so clear - brilliant.

Hi Wendy
DeleteIf you like the look of the Delicate Aster flower as much as the Enchanted Mum, I personally would go for the Delicate Aster, it's more versatile. Also the Mum flower is quite big. I've just measured the Mum flower I made last week and It's 3 inches across, and this weeks flower is just under 21/2". Hope this helps.
