I printed out a background, two bookmarks and a sheet of toppers. By doing this I was able to decoupage the hummingbird and fushias. I used pink skeleton leaves and home made fushias and tiny white flowers. I finished the card with a peeloff greeting and gems.
I made these fushias, by punching a deep pink five petalled flower, I snipped between two petals and glued the two outer petals together, so that it became cone shaped and only had four petals. I shaped the petals a little bit with a 6mm ball tool.
For the insides I punched six small pale pink hearts and chalked the tops with dark pink. Then I curled the hearts and placed a pea sized blob of silicone glue into the cone shape and inserted the heart petals into it. I arranged them so that they overlapped slightly on each turn, moving towards the middle as I went. Finally I used florist wire cut at different lenths tipped with pva and pink glitter, then inserted them into the centre of the fushia. A little fiddly to do, but well worth the end result. I will be making tutorials for the crepe paper and floral punch art flowers at some stage in the near future. But which way would you prefer to see them - photographic or Video? I'm interested in your thoughts. Tracie x
