Valentines Flowers
Dimension
Card measures 10cm X 15cm.
I will not be detailing out the specific instructions for this card as this is intended to show you what you can do by cutting out nice patterns from pattern paper, overlaying each piece and giving it a very 3D look. At the same time, use ascents such as pearl drops, brads as the center of the flower to make it more real. You may even want to add clear crystal beads to make it look like some water effect on the flower.
This kind of technique is best in recycling all the excess pattern paper available from your past projects. :)
Essential tools are good glue dots, Non-stick craft scissors (best brand is EK Success Honey Bee as shown below).
This card uses all the remains from past projects like these :

To search for the above papers, type "Bittersweet Rocky Road paper". This is a 2008 paper collection and if you can find it being sold on any online merchant, chances are...they should be on SALE!
