This card is a lot of fun to make. First stamp each flower separtely, cut out, and spray with water. I like mine pretty wet, this is something you will have to play with to find out how much water you like. Take a small handled paint brush, and roll up the ends, Set aside and let dry. When your flower parts are dry, kinda un roll the ends a little, again this is something you will just need to play with until the shape is to your liking. Put a glue dot in the center of the large flower part, a place the second size flower part and so on until your flower is together. Again, unrolling to your liking. When the flower is the way you want, take a sponge and color ink lightlin rub on color, I like dark on the edges. This is a beautiful technique, but it does take practice. Just hang in there, it is worth it!! Have fun. Linda D

This is one of the most beautiful creations I've ever seen (I'm also a hat collector). This one so closely resembles a beautiful hat I own--uncanny! I LOVE how you layered the gold embossing of the love swirls over the top of the stamped floral pattern. Just gorgeous. I want to wear it! LOL!
