Would it be possible to post directions on how to make this flower? I cannot tell for sure how you wrapped it. Thanks for any help. Tammy [email protected].

Thanks for all your nice compliments! I learned how to do the wire flower here on SCS, where I learn something every day!
Use the wire cutter from the crafter's toolkit. Wind the wire around the open cutter parts like a figure eight. I went around three times to get a 6-petal flower. (For the swap, I actually modified this to a five-petal flower so it would match the flowers in the stamped image.) After your figure-eighting, and while still on the wire cutter, wind the wire around the intersection of the wires several times to create the flower center. Cut wire, remove from the wire cutter, and fan out the petals as desired. You can also leave a "stem" on if you want.
These really are very easy. I'm probably explaining it in a much more complicated way than necessary!
