Inspired by Shirley's Get Well Card here's a 12 petal flower. Just resize the whole group to make it bigger or smaller so both layers resize the same size.
It cut clean with my Roberta Pro.
They do not fit perfect every way. The easiest way is to find the straightest petals and then line them up that way
I've downloaded some lovely designs from here this afternoon. Thank You! to everyone who's generously shared their hard work.
My offering is my star flowers template, (5 and 6 petals). The flower looks nice on it's own, or with two layered on top of each other.
I have included a close up of one of my flowers, on it's own, and then on a finished card. If you curl up the inner petal, and curl down the outer one, it looks really effective.
Sorry! about the camara glare. It's because I used a foil card for my flower.
A few people have admired the flowers on the scallop tri fold card, so I thought I would upload the template for them.
There is a 6 cm, 5 cm, 4cm, 3cm, and 2.5 cm flower.
I layered the large one at the top with 2 x 6cms and 2 x 4 cms with sticky pads between.
The two sides were done using 2 x 5cm and 2 x 3cm.
I have put various sizes on the template so that you can copy and paste as many of each as you want. The layers can be made up in various sizes.
I outline the petals with quickie glue and glitter. The smallest and largest I use a glue pad and glitter (crystal). I have done them in red for christmas and white as well.
Without the base it makes a neat flower as well.
Hope someone can use it.

I have done this template with Jenni's permission. It is the folding flower talked about the other day. It cuts well and looks really nice. The dotted lines are the fold lines.

God must love stupid people-He made so many of them
I thought I would post my Sunflower, it's not brilliant but I learnt lots whilst creating it.
I cut the flower/petal shapes from yellow Bazzil card, chalked the edges and then layered them on top of each other. I cut the lattice centre from Black card, stuck it onto a large foam pad and sprinkled Bronze glitter on top before sticking it onto the petals. The stem is a kebab stick coloured with a green ink pad.
The file was created in DM if anyones wants to convert it to GSD please feel free. ( I don't know how...)
Here are the files which go with the flowery frame and small butterfly. Sorry it took so long, but I had problems converting the oval mat to a GSD format. It still isn't perfect, but it's the best I can do I'm afraid. It will need careful lifting from the carrier sheet because it is quite fragile! The flower is quite big, but you can resize to whatever suits your purpose. I have cut the GSD file and that is what is shown on the thumbnail. I have chalked alternate layers of the flower and I think it gives quite a nice soft effect. I do like chalks!
I was at a garden centre the other day and spotted the whirligig osteospermum which has these funny little extensions on the end of the petals. Thought it would make a nice unusual flower template so here it is if anyone can use it! I used 2 of each size to make the example and chalked alternate ones to give a bit of colour!
