Todays card is made from one of hessian flowers that I created in the video and this is the one made using the template that I showed you how to create.
.I have used the stiffened fabric as it is easier to manipulate and it die cuts so much easier and you can use any dies that you have .
This one has been coloured with Distress Oxides but you could try this with any colouring medium that you have to make your flowers fit in with your scheme.
I hope I have managed to convey to you just what Hessian is and it is so cheap.
I bought a 2 metre roll for £2 from Hobbycraft and I have had it for a long, long time. The ribbon pieces, in different widths, I got from Amazon again a log time ago.
It is a material you can have some fun with and one roll will make you lots of flowers.
Bye for now ...

Another nice card Christina , liking these hessian flowers. I bought a pack of small hessian flowers a long time ago but they frayed , probably because the hessian hadn’t been stiffened. Joyce Jennings x

Hi Christina, this flower makes a really bold statement and definitely needs a box!
