Since we all love a great tutorial, we thought we would share a beautiful rosette flower tutorial from the brand new CardMaps Today Vol. 2 that just released (order here)! This card and tutorial was created by designer and author Kimber McGray and we thought you'd love it too!
Trim a 12" piece of .75" ribbon. Run a gathering stitch down one long edge using a thin twine, leaving 4" tails on each end.
Gently pull on the twine tails to gather the ribbon. The tighter you pull, the smaller the rosette will be.
When you are happy with the shape of the rosette, tie the twine into a knot and trim off the tails.
Insert a decorative brad into the centre of the rosette and adhere it to your project! Voila!
Thanks Kimber! Great tutorial and so many uses for this flower embellishment. Enjoy SCT friends!
