Well here is my take on it with a tutorial!

I made a 8 X 8 Card front with a Teal Blue card stock

Layered with DP

Distressed the edges with Faded Jeans from

These flowers were made of used Dryer Sheets

There is 4 layers of used dryer sheets and then layered on DP die cut flower

Keeping together with a Pearl Brad

I used 3 different DP die cut flowers

I cut some leaves out of a SweetCuts die from SweetStamps.com 

Tutorial 

Used Dryer Sheet Flowers

Do not throw your used Dryer Sheets After Tumble Drying you cloths

Keep them and you can make Flowers

I used the plain circles die cut from Spellbinders

Cut 4 different size circles out of the Dryer Sheet

You could also just cut circles or shapes by hand

Just as long you have more than 3 layers to form your flower

I took 2 sheets and sandwich a bit of copy paper in the center,

I find this give you a more clear cut

Take the 3 larger circles and fold each one in the half and half again and again, 4 fold

now you should have a triangle

Cut the left and right side corners off

Fold open and you will have 8 Petals

Repeat until all your layers are done

Lay your small circle, this is the center of your flower,

and the other 3 layers on a bit of Kitchen Towel

Use a very fine water sprayer, you can at this point also add colour to your water,

and spray the layers with the water

When wet, just crunch the pieces and give some dimension to your petals

You can at this point use your Heat Gun,

but

be careful, you could scorch it and it can shrivel up

I just left mine to dry

I took Stickles and went round the edges of each layer

This will identify each layer

I left mine over night to dry properly

To put your flower together:

I used a Pearl brad

You can use your Poky Tool to make a small hole in the center of each layer,

so that you can put your brad tongs through

Start with the smallest and end with the biggest

After put all the layers on, just open the brad tongs at the back 

to keep your flower together.

Now you can shape your flower.

It is as easy at that!
