Instructions

These lovely cards are sure to impress this Christmas. Both uses a large handmade Poinsettia flower as the focal point. To make the flower draw and cut out eight petal leaves from Wassail Paper. Doodle a little on the plain petals if you like. Ink all edges in brown Distress ink. Tape a small piece of florist wire onto the back of the petal, I used the very fine wire, this means you can bend the petals into position. Alternate the petals as pictures merging all the wires in the centre. To finish off the flower add three large brads.
