 I used the flower from this set. I water colored it and did paper tole technique.

 
Usually I am intimidated by making bows. 
I watched this video on Youtube that showed how to 
tie a double bow. It was really easy to understand and do
I may be making more bows now.






Here is a card I made last week. I stamped the flower twice.
 One I kept whole and one I cut in half.
