Here we are with another card. I thought I might try making some origami flowers and this was the result. They turned out quite well and I will definitely be having another go at making different sizes and shapes.
I started off with some scraps of pretty patterned papers which I distressed with my ink pads. You have to make each petal seperately then stick them all together so it took a little while to do but I think the time it took and the end result was work the effort.
I chopped off the bottoms and added the brad with a big blob of silicon glue to give them a bit more strength on the card. And finished off with the gold ribbon and sentiment. So my conclusion is making your own pretty flower embelishments is well worth it. I will be trying some other techniques out in the next few weeks and will report back with the results.
