On one of my groups someone posted a video link to how to make these little concertina borders using paper and a die!! Check out the video on the Sizzix site here. You fold the paper just short of the width of the die then cut it! Magically you have a whole row of flowers!! On the video they used a heart but the possibilities are endless!!! I used the smallest flower on one of my large Sizzix dies to make this border from hand painted decorative paper. Love how it worked out!! I found the two backgrounds in my stash - they are watercoloured strips which at the time was a technique that I was experimenting with which had not turned out the way I expected. They were perfect for my new flower border!! I embossed the backgrounds, trimmed and glued my border over the watercoloured section and then glued this element to my card fronts (one yellow, the other pink). I added punchies to the center of the flowers and a little punchie greeting and I was done!! Very happy with these! They are off to a couple of people who are facing challenges right now!!!
