Golden Foiled Edged Rose's

Hello All,
As promised, we are going to expain how we created the Golden Foiled Edged Rose's on the card in the previous post.
To start with we needed a piece of Cream Linen card to give that textured look. We then needed to use a 2'' 6 Petaled Flower punch to punch out three full flowers. We then took a glue pen making sure to neatly draw around the edges of each individual flower. This was then left to dry tacky. Once tacky, using Transfer Foil, place the foil face up onto your flower. Using the flat end of a Bone folder, gently rub around the edges of the flower making sure that the foil is sticking. Peel back the foil from the flowers and you should be left with a flower with a mottled Golden Foiled edge. Continue by folding, cutting, glueing and layering to achive your desired Rose effect. To see how this is done, follow this link to see Create & Craft's Stephanie Weightman acheiving this effect: http://www.crafting.co.uk/page.php?xPage=paperflowersvideo
