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
