I wanted to play around with the Paper Weaving technique and this what I ended up with. I cut my strips of DP paper 3/4" wide then cut the strips in half with my SU Craft and Paper Scissors, that I absolutely love, so the flower center wouldn't be "perfect". I used the largest scallop on the die and cut slits to form petals. On the Summer Sun petals I cut off a sliver more on each petal just because I thought it looked better:) I also gave each petal a slight bend under and folded every other petal up and then the remaining petals down to give it more of a 3D look. I also folded and bent the butterfly wings for more interest.
