Flowers Just for You!

Hello!  I have a new technique to share with you today.  Actually, I am just the "passer on", as I got the idea from Anne Harada's blog called Everlasting Ink.  She is an ex-customer of mine and she has also done a tutorial for it on Splitcoast Stampers, which you can see here.  Her technique is called Faux Pressed Flowers.  And I am amazed how much the flowers really do look like real pressed flowers.  They are super simple to create.  All you need is a few of the Prima flowers we all have in our room, a glue stick and an embossing folder with a very tight grid design.  For my card, I went with the square lattice folder from Stampin' Up.  Let me show you my card.  Enjoy!

Simply, glue flowers to paper and run through with embossing folder and they appear to be part of the paper instead of added on top.  What do you think ... very cool technique?  I like it.  I need to try some other folders ... to be continued!
