Tim Holtz Sizzix Bigz Tattered Florals Die

I love flowers of any kinds and shapes. Although I prefer big blooms because I think the petals together, give out an interesting shade of shadows and light. With scrapbooking, I've learnt to make a few flowers using my Sizzix dies. I've bought the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals for over a year now, but, I've not had a chance to work with them. There are 4 different shapes and sizes of blooms on this particular die. So, its really a great deal for the price of one die.

So, today, I took out a whole bunch of kraft papers that I got from my various die shipments and decided to turn those into tissue-like, 3D paper flowers. So far, I came up with about 3 kinds of blooms. I've tried taking pictures of them individually and together to see the different effects I can mix and match with.

This first one is the basic flower I made using all the floral template available from this die:

I made 2 separate flowers by layering the mid-sized daisy template and the smaller rose bloom:

This is what I get by combining the first layered floral with the small rose. It turned out into a huge peony-like flower that measures around 6.5cm or 2 inches in diameter:

Taadaa! Don't you just LOVE flowers?!?! :D

I've not tried colouring them yet because the paper is very thin. I'll try to see if I can spray some colours on them later. TFL!
