Flower tutorial......

Evening, well my crafting mojo has gone this week haven't made a thing which makes me behind on all my DT work :(

I have been to the gym today and cleaned the house from top to bottom including giving my oven a good old scrub...

I have been asked by several people to do a tutorial on my little roses, this is my worst nightmare as I hate the sound of my voice and so nervous about doing video tutorials, but after some encouragement here is a quick tutorial... Not the best it is my first ever one and I haven't planned it so its off the cuff but I guess you will get the idea on how I make them.

Any questions or if you wish to buy some please just ask!

Morning, yesterday was a total washout I had one of my attacks yesterday afternoon so slept most of it and didn't get anything done, but hubby did come home from work and he cooked the tea and did the dishes, so guess a day of resting for me today as I feel so exhausted and aching.....

But I do have a DT card to share today, today is another challenge over at Whimsy Stamps and today's theme is one that I really struggle with WHITE ON WHITE.....

I have used this flowery image called Poppy Love from Moon Cookie Gallery  from Whimsy Store but not sure if I have done this image any justice as I have not coloured it but added some stickles star dust glue not sure if it works?

and some of my paper flowers I've made

To add some texture I have embossed some 

white card with my dots embossing folder

Embellishments are some punches and cuts on my cameo including the Doily from Dreamees

Hope you all have a good Wednesday and if you
