This is a stunning but really simple card to make using pressed flowers

You will need

1 A4 card stock in lemon
1 floral backing paper I have used paper from Victorian flowers cd
1 lacey backing paper
1 A5 acetate sheet
Three pressed chrysanthemums and leaves
4 brads
peel off anniversary wishes and butterflies
1lemon sheet of plain paper for inner

Step-by-step

1. First press your flowers. I used chrysanthemums which took about five days in the Nantic sunwave flower press

2. Fold the card in half and score it well
Cut the floral backing paper to fit card and stick down
Cut the lacey paper to leave a generous border and stick down over the floral one.

3. Now arrange the flowers onto the lacey paper until they have a good arrangement, and stick down to paper with Copydex.

4. Take the Acetate sheet and cover the front of the card, and fix with little brads

5. Finish with anniverary message and butterfly peel offs

6. For the inner print off your message and finish with a floral picture
