The contrasting colours on this design really help to make the shape POP!
DANELIONS
This summer, I received my first ever flower from my daughter – a lovely little yellow Dandelion! I have to admit that I used to think of these “flowers” as “weeds”, but when it was proudly delivered by a two-year old with a smile that can melt even the coldest heart, these petals were transformed in my mind forever!
So, for our second day of paper flower tutorials, I wanted to create a little something to commemorate that memory. 
Capturing the round, “fringy” shape was the goal, and I love the effect created by the two contrasting colours in this design! There are a fair number of simple steps involved, so I thought I would put together a printable PDF for you with all of the instructions. This way, instead of printing pages of instructions from the blog, you’ll have a concise little 2 pager to keep in your book of ideas! Get a copy of it here!
And if you are looking for even more ideas today, check out these pretty cardstock flowers over at Such a Pretty Mess. I love the “brad-like” center that Gabrielle Pollacco creates for these pretty handmade petals.
Remember to come back tomorrow for PART 3 of the tutorial series!
