Good afternoon. Hope you are all ok.

I've been at the hospital this morning, I've been having pains for quite a while now, after I had  ultrasound a few weeks ago it turns out I have Adenomyosis, Fibroids and also a cyst on my spleen. I've had a CT scan today so hopefully will find out soon whats what. I did have to chuckle though as I was offered  pregnancy test before the CT. I explained to the lovely nurse that I had been sterilised 18 years ago so there was no need.

Anyhoo! here's a card I made for my gorgeous Daughter Sam's birthday last week. This cutie reminds me of her as she had quite a lot of stripey socks when she was younger. I'm sure she won't mind me telling you, she's 27 now. Eek! makes me feel old.

So here is how to make the flowers, easy peasy.

Punch out the flower, I use a 2in Woodware punch

Sand round the edge & cut into the flower and add some wet glue as shown.

Then put the petal to the right of the cut over the petal with the glue on & hold until dry.

Push the centre of flower down with your thumb to create a flat bottom.

Then embellish the centre to finish.
