| I really enjoyed making this except it made my shoulders ache sitting in the same position for so long cutting each piece out! My first attempt at this, I think I will try to find a frame for it! Love Mary.xx |

That is so pretty. Can you tell us how you did it. It must have been very time consuming, so delicate. |

Hello glad you like my flowers!lol, I can tell you how to do it, but it sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is! You need some Parchment paper,((I use Pergamano Parchment))you can buy it and all the tools from any good craft shop,or on line, have a look around http://www.fredaldous.co.uk you can buy a starter kit of embossing tools from as little as £4 to £5, and there is lots of different coloured parchment, but I like the plain best,that way if you have the sets of Dorso colours, you can colour the plain parchment any colour you want! So you start by drawing your pattern or one from a pattern book, onto the parchment, then you emboss the outline and whatever needs embossing and shading, then you cut out each part with special little sharp very pointed curved scissors. You need some foam glue dots, so it helps the petals stand off each set, gives it a much better 3D effect, then arrange them how you like on coloured card! It's that easy!! Love Mary.xxx |

Easy?!  . I don't think so Mary, lol. I think you also need a very good eye for design, and definitely the patience of a saint. It's really beautiful. It'll be gorgeous in a frame. Mary made a beautiful card for my sister's 60th birthday recently featuring lovely little white flowers in a basket, something like these. It was a work of art. (Sorry, I should have said Mary, she was delighted with it.) What a talented lady! Luv Pansy |
