MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS
Easy Peasy Card.....I thought but OH NO......would have probably gone for my favourite shabby chic type flower but my teamie Kim had already done that one....so back to the drawing board.....I decided to go with a flower made out of heart shapes in 3 different sizes......and this is where it became complicated....didn't have three heart punches in three different sizes....so ended up drawing the hearts freehand and cutting them all out......so bang goes the easy peasy card....it's now turned into a marathon. The stem of the flower is stitched using the ribbon and then a separate piece of ribbon slipped behind and tied in a knot for the leaves. Finished off by adding some dots punched out of the patterned paper.
