    Hi Mel

    This is such a lovely card - I've had a go at making this using your step by step guide. I had just one question though, how did you put together the flower with the 8 petals as I can't seem to get it to look like your photo! Your help would be much appreciated. Sarah x

    Hi Sarah. Cut a 2” square of card and I use a hot glue gun. Put the base petals on first. Put one at North, South, East and West. Then fill in the gaps. Then add the other layers in the same way. Hope that helps. Melanie xxx
