These prima flowers come all wrinkled up (to look like carnations). I did not know that when I made this card and, like an dummy, tried straightening out all the petals (which, of course, did not work). I think they went back to the original shape and till look like small carnations anyway. That aside, I still like the card! What do you experts think?

Wonderful! Love the color scheme. I like the idea of altering embellishments - gives it a unique look. And I'm sure there's a real flower out there that looks just like yours.

I love this card! Have to case it. I too have the carnations, I discovered if you glue one down with a bit of glue in the center, then glue another just in the center, put a tiny bit of glue in the center of that and fold that one up (in half) you have a carnation looking flower. (I have one in my gallery, but I haven't figured out how to attach the link) Anyway I like the way you did yours. It looks cool.

Hi! Me again. I put you in my favorites! I wanted to say, if you ever buy the Prima yellow chrysanthemums, they work the same way, doubled up they look like chrysanthemums (sp?)
