Sizzix's Prima flower die!

I was so excited Sizzix came out with Prima flower dies.  Like most, I love all things Prima so I knew I had to have the new dies out.  I'm pretty new to paper flower making so I was excited to try out the Prima flora grande die.  It's a bigz L die so the petals are good size.  There are 3 petals and a leaf which is perfect so I don't have to get a separate leaf die!  I like using the middle size flower petal.  It's larger than the middle flower on Tim Holtz tattered flower die.  I cut it out 4 times since I like my flowers full.  3 works but 4 is better! 
I made one then was immediately addicted to it.  I decided to try a few more.  One for my halloween mini I'm working on, then 2 smaller ones for the same mini.... Then a few more for future halloween projects!  
Here's what I used for my flowers.  I brushed matte mod podge on the tops of the flower to give it more strength so they wouldn't tear when I rolled them around.  
Here's another pic trying a different technique with the hole in the middle to place the flower. 
Testing it out but I realized I forgot to ink my edges on the flower before I began!
My 2 mini flowers with my larger one.  The minis are around 1.25" and the larger is about 2.5"
Here are 3 more I made!  So much fun but next time I will use my hot glue gun to move it along faster.
