I found this blog while looking through YouTube in the craft area. I was quite impressed as they showed you how to make paper flowers from punched out petals. Some time ago I remember that Mum had some paper punches, I had not used them for ages, but the video intrigued  me. There was a lovely red rose made from altered punches cut out from paper, colored and strengthened and made into a brooch.

Even if you like making your own cards, or would just like to browse, take a look at Valitas blog, she is such a talented lady!

Below is the link for some of Valitas's flowers with video;
