Then mark the holes before sewing with a paper piercer and the rest is simple. When sewing straight borders and patterns, a stitch marker is a great investment. They are inexpensive ...

A great tip for this is to wet the torn edge first. It makes it easy to roll and dries quickly holding it's shape.

With some coordinating or contrasting kindy glitz, you can make them really shine out. The most effective way to apply the glitz is to use it like a paint, squeeze some out into a separate container and then just brush onto the petals lightly until you have the desired effect. Go slowly and you won't make any mistakes. Hope this helps someone give their project that special something.

But remember that you can stamp almost anything flowers look great stamped as well as handmade journalling cards. The stamp coming onto the edge of a photo really looks beautiful and elegant, while creates flow and harmony. Stamp in different colours, so say you have the black stamped then change to say a gold ink and stamp on or just next to the black one to create a highlight or greater definition. Anyway just a couple of ideas Cheers ...
