Folded Circle Punch Flower

Have you tried any of the simple origami flowers?  My card today is just that:  simple folding of punched circles into a flower.   It was relatively easy (after a few adjustments and re-adjustments of my folding) and I was really happy with my first attempt at this.  : ) 

I punched out seven circles with my Stampin' Up! 1" Circle Punch; one circle is the base to which the other circles are attached.  Fold each circle in half, then from one end, make a point by folding the paper back alongside both edges of the circle.  Then attach all six of the "petals" to the base  circle.  I made a center from small flowers punches with the BoHo Blossom Punch and the Trio Flower Punch then attached it with a green Rhinestone Brad.  For a video of this technique, go here.

I modified Technostamper's Sketch #123 a little by using ribbon instead of the scallop and adding my sentimennt on one of the wonderful new Mini Vintage Tags (#118763) from the Summer Mini Catalog!  Those are so cool, and the paper in the tag is this beautiful shimmery cardstock with a pale golden glow!  Wow, I love them!
