Sabrina with the help of her very creative mind...asked us to make a card using something from our kitchen. I took paper toweling and used it to die cut the rolled roses and the bow. I die cut the lattice out of card stock..adhered it to the back of the card front and folded it over. This paper toweling is rather soft...feels like felt. The best glue for these flowers was the glue gun. I did use two sheets of toweling when die cutting. They stuck together without any gluing. tfl

Oh, wiw, Linda, those flowers look gorgeous and I can only imagine the great texture they must have. What a clever idea! I'd try it myself only my towel is patterned! I was reading in a thread in the forums recently that Viva seems to be the preferred brand among crafters, but I'm not sure we have it here.

How clever, and how gorgeous! The white absolutely pops against the coral, and the roses are fabulous!
