Oh How Real those Roses Seem to Be

It's past bedtime, and I've just finished this paper flower tree. I got the idea here, and I think I should have done something different at the top. As it is, I spent the whole evening making flowers. This might get a little remake come April. Or December, whichever.

Onward.

But first, to bed. For tomorrow we rise at daybreak.

Very pretty. I can see how this would lend itself to a lot of permutations.

You can start making bridal bouquets and all sorts of goodies with those flowers. Looks like it all took a LOT of time!

Did you use the double-faced paper? What is best
way to shape petals? Before or after rolling?
Many thanks for the link...

Yes, you need double-sided paper. I shape the petals before rolling, whether you use a die (like the Stampin Up Spiral Flower die) or you cut them yourself (which I did on some of the flowers). I did that by cutting my spiral in a wavy line, if that makes sense.

That is an awesome tree. Your flowers look more like her example than her flowers do! I think she did a lot of fussy cutting and tweaking.
