For today's Limited Supply Challenge. My card is a gatefold card. I purchased prescored gatefold cards maybe a year ago and didn't realize till I received them that the fold went the opposite way from what I thought. I have never been able to do anything with them, but I was determined to do something for the challenge.
The flowers have been heated with the embossing gun to get them to curl. I have many beautiful flowers that I never use because I can't stand that they are so perfect. I had this idea yesterday that if I heat them with the embossing gun (like we used to do with organdy ribbon) that maybe they would take on an interesting shape. I am pleased with them.

Cool trick with heat gun on the flowers. Never thought of doing that and use it for the ribbon frequently! How clever of you! This is a beautiful card!!!
