So what is on my little work trays on my bed today? Well some partly made vellum flowers!!! It's taking me ages to do these as each individual petal has to be embossed, then you take two flowers and put them together with a little pearl and/or gem in the middle. The leaves are easy, just one quick line with the embossing tool and they're done. Some of them don't look too fantastic at the moment, but believe me, when they're finished they look beautiful. I had my doubts when I made the first one, but seeing the finished article really made my day!

You'll have to come back soon to see the finished articles - when all the flowers are finished - phew.....!!!
Happy WOYWW!!

Your vellum flowers look very pretty and the finished flowers will be special. Not done any vellum work for ages. I did a Pergamano course a few years ago and got hooked, trouble is it takes so long to do and you end up with snow blindness, well almost.
Thanks for visiting earlier.

the flowers are pretty. Is this your first wedding card? at first i thought it was a white marker line down the leaves. thanks for sharing that.
Hi and thanks for your kind comments earlier. My wife, Margaret (glitterandglue #55) does pergamano. I love your flowers, and yes, it does take time, but it is definitely worth it. The end results are so lovely and delicate. Happy WOYWW, John-W #95.

That's an amazing amount of care and attention to detail, Karen! I can't wait to see the end result! Happy WOYWW! Have a wonderful week - no more going to the hospital, please! Darnell #16
I can see where the vellum flowers would be very time-consuming, but I'm sure you'll be glad to have done them in a batch and to have them on hand to use. I like your orange glittery love birds for the wedding card. Happy WOYWW from Laura #116
Hi there and I am looking forward to seeing the finished flowers. Thanks for visiting me. Anne x #90
These look fabulous, so delicate and special. I can't wait to see the finished flowers. I do love vellum, although I have never learned exactly what Perga... oh dear can't even remember how to spell it...is!!! Julie Ann xx #35
I always think a wedding card is one that you really want to get right so I think your idea of making two is a great idea.
I am sure the one you make using the vellum flowers will be stunning because vellum and wedding go together so well
Have a really great WOYWW and enjoy the rest of your week

You are very ambitious with the vellum flowers. Pretty!
The flowers are looking good. The leaves are ready. Just a case of putting them all together - and then we are looking forward to seeing it all. Well done - they are great.

Karen,Thanks for visitng me. Those flowers are going to be gorgeous. I bet that when you have finish the cards that Lady is going to have real problems deciding which one to take and which one to leave.

The other dog drawing might be a freebie...I'm sort of drawing them in the stile of my daughter, as she sent me her drawings a few weeks back, and I've been away so amm behind with them, I did put one doggy freebie out a few weeks back, but he'll be in the shop soon I think.
Your desk look very busy, those flowers look lovely!!
Thank you for my snoop!!
Happy WOYWW!
