I did a few more backgrounds the other day after picking my first radishes from my garden. I wanted something that would coordinate with the radish leaves and be different than the geraniums I made last time so I picked some dandelions. They worked out really well. It took a bit to figure out the results are better if you break up the flowers into threes before laying them down and it is really hard to get a full on circle flower because they are so thick all you get is a large circle of colour without too much detail. The radish leaves were very juicy so it was worth having a paper towel handy!! I did you my Big Shot again to "pound" the flowers which creates more of a problem with run off - I expect that if you used a hammer the juice would be absorbed more locally and the images might be better as well. I will have to explore that. It may also be possible to remove the one shim from the sandwich and accomplish the same thing. Will let you know!! I hope you will consider giving this technique a try - it is super easy!! Follow the above link to find recommendations for flowers and greenery which you can use even if you don't have a garden!! You can even find some options at the grocery store!!
