Thank you Kathie, it is great being here again. Been a bit of a challenge in life latley so making flowers have been My "to go to" to sort My head and re-chargé so to speak. I have discovered that I LOVE making flowers and find the painting process as rewarding as shingling, really a zone out mode so to speak.

Have had so much fun pondering and Trying things put with these. The Dutch tulip work shop really opened My eyes on how to achieve that shaped petal forms using the ball stylus.

A friend sent me some lovley Italian crepe paper, but I just can't get it to work with the punches I use. It is tearing unevenly despite using a thin copying paper as one layer.

havanaholly Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Your punches need to be very sharp. Scissors would probably work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
