Sorry I didn't get to do this challenge on Friday but the weekend was a lot quieter! I found the instructions for these flowers on the internet but didn't follow them exactly. It called for Podge or fabric stiffener which I didn't have so I used watered down white glue. Cut small pieces of folded-over cheese cloth to fit the size of die cut you are using and saturate them with glue. Let dry on a piece of parchment and then cut out. The rim around the edges is liquid applique sprinkled with a little glitter and puffed with a heat gun. I sponged a little cameo coral in the centre of the small flower for a to bit of colour. A little touch of zig pen and a sprinkle of glitter on the flowers is all you need and a brad in the centre. The background is cuttlebug and scorpal. The die cut is from Marianne Designs and a piece of SU lattice folder is glued behind. The leafy vine is Nellie Snellen and the small flowers are Martha's hydrangea punch.

How unbelievably lovely! And how clever of you to water down some glue to make the flowers and then finish off the edges; it was a lot of work! Do you have the link for the instructions on-line? I love how you cut out the embossed lattice for the background, too.
