I thought I would experiment further with my Hougie board, having successfully made the big rosettes I showed yesterday. I found up an offcut piece of flowery paper (no idea where it originally came from) and scored it in half cms. I thought it might look more realistic to cut into the 'petals' instead of leaving them looking more like rosettes. Not sure that it looks much like an aster really, but hey ho!
The challenge on 365 cards day 183 is Imagine this: wrinkled - I have a box of lots of crinkly handmade papers that haven't been used for years, so I decided to dig one out - I chose this shiny wrinkled pink paper (terrible to get a photo because of the shine). I mounted this on to a 7 x 5 card and finished off with a piece of card candy in the centre of the flower, stem and leaves with stitched ribbon and the birthday sentiment.
