Making Flowers with Dennison

This book belonged to a sewing Teacher for special needs Eveline Johnson who was a friend of my Mams sadly she passed away at the age of 99 years old in 2007 but before she died she gave this book to my Mam and in turn my Mam gave it to me knowing that it would interest me.
Having scoured through the book I decided to try to make the Oriental Poppy which I knew would be fun as I don't have any crepe paper and that is what the book is all about.

So anyway here is the result to my read, as you can see it worked out pretty good, I used red & black paper the only crepe paper I used was the gold center.I have to say it was very easy to make.


If you would like me to do a tutorial on this let me know in a comment & I'll set to work getting it done.

A definite 'Yes please!' on the tutorial! Fabulous book to have - and presumably all without punches if it has 2/6 on the cover!
Love your card - the poppy is gorgeous. And I really like the backing paper you did.

The flowers on the cover of the book all look sooo real. I don't have time to stop and make flowers right now, but I'm sure if there's a tutorial then I'll just have to make time. Thanks Jak.

Just having a nose tonight and couldn't believe you have the same book as me. I have had the crepe paper flowers book since I was at school and it is sitting on the shelf in the front room. I made the orchids from the book when we did 'The Mikado' when I was at school. I had never thought about using it for cardmaking - I will have to have a go when I get out of hospital.

Jaks, beautiful poppy and card. About the card, how did you make the thick black lines running through the background? Are they embossed?

I would love a tutorial on making the entire card!
