Could you not buy some white mailing envelopes? They would fit in them and if you got White with a strip to remove and seal then I reckon they would look good?

Craft garden is now closed, the kind I am looking for are Hip rosebuds, 25mm roses and closed roses mainly the hip rosebuds and the closed roses as I have a boxful of the 25mm but never the right colours LOL

Still nothing here secret santa wise, but I am sure if will just be delayed somewhere, I got a christmas card yesterday dated the 15th Dec

So typical of Royal Mail!!

Hmm not sure about the flowers then, have you tried colouring some you already have that you don't need/use in with promarkers, copics or inkpads? That might work

The trouble with the envelopes they are smaller than normal DL's

Oh Rusty, so sorry some *bleep* broke into your car :mad: Have you had a peek at Crafty Emma's Store for flowers, not sure if she has the size you are after but may be worth a looksee?

What a gorgeous card artydoll and a wonderful way to use ribbon

CT, I have a card on my blog for your flowers challenge, it's in the bottom photo, bottom row in the middle

Gemm, so sorry to hear about your poor mum Hope she is ok and not in too much pain xxx

Kms, I too would use normal DL envelopes from the supermarket, much easier than trying to make some - sorry just seen your post above x
