Step by step

1.

2. 

   Place the preprinted Hellebore flower paper onto the die plate, ensuring the design aligns correctly. If the alignment is not quite right, flip the paper over as it is double-sided.

   ▶ watch this step (27:00)
3. 

   Run the paper and die through your cutting machine to cut out the flower petals and leaves. Remove the cut pieces from the backing sheet.

4. 

   Remove all the die-cut hellebore flower pieces from the cutting plate. Carefully pop out each petal and flower element from the woodgrain patterned card.

5. 

   Curl the yellow and brown flower petals inward using your fingers to create dimension and shape for the hellebore blooms.

6. 

   Use a white ink pad to soften the edges of the hellebore petals, blending away any harsh lines to create a more natural appearance.

7. 

   Glue the petals together to form the complete flower shape. Arrange the petals in a circular formation, overlapping them slightly to create a natural hellebore bloom.

    Roll additional petals around a pen or quilling tool to create extra dimension and bulk out the flower centre. Use the pink and cream petals from the floral paper to add volume.

    ▶ watch this step (40:15)
11. 

    Add complementary leaves and foliage from the die-cut floral sheet around the hellebore flower to complete the arrangement. Layer different leaf shapes and sizes to create depth and balance in your design.

Tips from the show

• The preprinted papers are double-sided with colour on both sides, so flip them over if the alignment isn't quite right.
• Use white ink pad to push back bright colours and soften harsh edges for a more cohesive look.
• You can add glitter or sparkle media to enhance the finished flower without distracting from the patterned background.
