I've just had a go at Rach's fantastic tutorial over on her blog for how to make scrunched-up flowers. I've been meaning to try it for ages but haven't really got round to it, so here's my attempt! I would have used glimmer mist on my flower, like it says in the tutorial, but I don't have any! I had a brainwave though, and I remembered that I have a tin of hair glitter spray in my wardrobe that I put in my hair for special occasions.
You can't really tell from the picture, but I've absolutely drenched my flower in the stuff and I'm quite pleased with the result!
I'm entering my card into this week's Charsima Cardz Challenge, where the theme is swirls and curls. There is an optional extra of hearts, but I'd already made the card when I saw the challenge so I haven't included hearts.
I'm not sure who the image is by, or the sentiment, but the colouring is ProMarkers, the backing papers are K & Co., the swirl stamps and butterfly stamps are borrowed from my mum and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.
Here is a close-up of the flower before it went on the card:
Thank you for looking, and have a nice week! ;)

Gorgeous card Georgia, great colours too.
I think your flowers have worked really well, top idea to use your hairspray, I made some handmade flowers a while back and didn't have anything suitable, I know I should look in my make up drawer from now!
