Distress the edges of the flower using any distress ink

Flip the flower , spray some mist at the back , dub excess water using tissue/towel

Place the flower on foam pad, now take grooved golf tool and give nice texture to the edges


now give some pressure at the center of the flower using ball tool, let it dry

 here i have finished flower, in this i added 2 layers , and for pollen's used small thermacol balls, u can either paint/ use pigment ink to shade the balls , let it dry...then adhere to the center of the flower
