Orchid flowers

I created my first paper filigree orchid when I receiver this amazing plant as a gift.

Orchid flowers, detail

This time an orchid is blossoming at our neighbors' home. I saw it when I was going to pick up my elder daughter from daycare. On our way back, I spent quite a while closely examining the flowers. After the lunch we set to work. Several more times I went down and up stairs to look at the plant, and by the evening we already had an orchid of our own.

The project is the size of an A4 paper sheet, framed in a hand-made paper frame.

Floral greeting card with spiral flowers

-
Image
I tried to make a greeting card with three-dimensional flowers. The techniques is described in detail in " Paper Crafts Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Techniques & Projects ". In short: Draw a swirl on coloured paper. Cut the paper following the swirl design with decorative scissors (waves of different types). Start cutting from the outside to the centre. Roll the swirl from the outside towards the centre around a thin round stick or using a quilling tool. Remove the stick and let the rolled paper free. It opens a little into a flower. Pull the centre (a small circle) of the swirl and glue it underneath. Cut out leaves, place them on a soft pad and gently press in veins. UPDATE: Don't miss the video tutorial on how to make such roses.
