While I was in Singapore I bought lots of woolen yarn from Spotlight - like a typical hoarder ... and made plenty of flowers when ever I got the chance...
So here are my flowers... the paper roses too are home made from a Carla Craft punch.
The lovely papers on the first two cards are from Terry's blog candy. I have finally come to terms with using those wonderful papers now... Might as well enjoy them and not leave them for my grand-children throw away... lol!!!
The leaves and stems in the second card have been cut manually and the crochet flower centres are actually coffee beans... aren't you impressed???
The third card is partly recycled as the foil is from the kitchen shelf and all the other scraps of paper on it were lying around on my table...
I am going to enter the first card for:
the linky party at Monique's - www.naturallymecreations.blogspot.com
