ReplyDeleteJes,
DeleteThank you. It really is very easy to make. If you don't have pressed flowers you can of course use stickers or cut out images.

ReplyDeleteNanna Chel,
DeleteIt's great being able to put some of those pressed flowers I have to use.
-Shiralee.
Now that is really good - the receiver would be under no doubt of the time and effort put into making this - that was once the point of receiving cards - now-a-days you just check the price printed on the back to see how much was invested in you!
ReplyDeletePhil,
DeleteToo true. It's nice to be able to show how easy and quick a simple card can be. As I said in above comments you can always use a simple sticker or cut out image if you haven't pressed flowers.
