Start with a piece of  8.5x11" Natural Sticky Back Canvas and print a handwriting image onto it using your inkjet printer

 

Peel off the backing paper from the Sticky Back Canvas

Fold it in half so both sides stick together

Cut using the Tattered Florals die on your die cutting machine

Sand the edges of your Sticky Back Canvas Flowers to distress them by rubbing the edges on sandpaper

Squeeze out a small amount of paint onto your Craft Sheet

Using the ink blending tool, dip the foam into the paint and then brush lightly over the edges of the flower.

Scrunch up the flowers to give them dimension. Then set the flower pieces aside. Now we are going to make the center of the flower!

Cut a 2" square piece of Sticky Back Canvas and a 1" x 11" long strip. Make a small cut in the top of the strip of Sticky Back Canvas

   

Tear the strip of Sticky Back Canvas in half lengthwise

 

Peel off the paper backing from the square of Sticky Back canvas and leave the adhesive side facing up

Take the long strip of Sticky Back canvas and remove the paper backing, stick one end to the adhesive side of the canvas square.

Start rolling up your flower by twisting one 1/2 turn and then sticking the strip of canvas into the adhesive side of the canvas square in a circular motion.

Keep twisting and sticking and it will look like this!

Trim off the excess canvas around the flower

Lightly tap on a little bit of Painterly Pink paint using the link blending tool

Apply Multi medium to the center of the largest flower

Layer up all the flowers, adding Multi Medium in between each layer.

Add a button using Multi Medium to the center of your flower

Add a pin back to the back of the flower. I glued mine on with more Multi Medium!

Pin your flower to an old necklace and wear! Or pin it to a scarf, a hat or a jacket!
