Accordion Fold Flowers

I've seen these accordion-folded paper flowers in a lot of scrap layouts, and I wanted to see if I could create one digitally.  This tutorial is my result, and although it's not an exact match for the ones which look like they've been scanned, it's pretty close.  I may have to tinker with this one some more to see if I can make it look a bit more realistic.  Hope you'll find it useful!

This tut was written 9 September 2012 using PSP 9.

Crumpled Paper Flowers

I haven't had any good ideas for the next tut until this weekend.  I made some flowers like this for a kit I posted over on my scrap blog today so I thought I'd write up a tut on how to make these.  Hopefully it will be of interest to some!

This tutorial was written 1 April 2012 using PSP 9 but should work in other versions as well.
