New Home card

Hi all

Afew weeks ago I bought 3 bunches of flowers from a local cheapy store for 1.65 euro per bunch.  I bought them for the individual petals, to take apart and make blossoms for my cards and here are some on the following cards.

Here`s the bunches of flowers -
There are loads of petals on each bunch and I can use some of the leaves too.

This `New Home ` card is a  decoupage of a little bird house and  three of the petals and four leaves used from the above flowers and highlighted with a gem in the centre.

Another decoupage image of a little boy and more of the petals highlighted with gems.
I,m going to enter these in -

    Hiya, great idea with the flowers, quite a saving I should imagine. The flower does look very pretty on the lovely 'new home' card.
