My mum teaches flower making and has taught scores of ladies over the past six decades. Recently, one of my sisters has learnt from her and helps her teach as she cannot manage much at 82. In the past, mum was always saddened by the fact that none of her four daughters bothered to learn from her. Fact is, mum was there to make them and we were interested in other crafts. Hence, the post title is addressed to her.
This is my first attempt at an easel card and roses. No templates were used to cut the card shape. Instead, I drew the scallops around a circle and cut it out. Rose colours convey different messages. Deep Pink (the best I could find) simply means "Thank You". Hence I chose this colour. The card is especially made to show our gratitude to someone. The spiral roses were made a few weeks ago. But, I delayed the project as I could not find a proper green paper for leaves. So, I painted the leaves in the end. The rose leaves are made as my mum does, with a serrated edge using scissors. Craft Punches were used for the ferns and daisies. As the first image was not very clear, I added another to proudly show off my roses. :D
