Stunning flower!

Thank you Dina.

You have a great talent for making flowers. I love all your flowers. 

I know just what you mean about buying every cutter in sight!  I just treated myself to a bargain offer that was on Amazon - a set of 30 piece cutters, plunger, veiners (PME) for £12 plus postage.  Worked out to about 50p a piece.  I just couldn't resist it - I'm like a kid in a sweet shop with this stuff! 

Katy, it is but it's pretty easy.  Flowers that you have to wire each petal and then put it together, I find a little harder.  I probably found it easier too because I actually used cutters.  I usually make a template on cardboard and then use an exacto knife to cut them.  Takes much longer but I can't justify buying all kinds of cutters for a hobby that I don't make any money on.

Thanks for the tutorial link Goreti.  Wow, what a lot of work for one flower!

Thanks Goreti =)

Thank you Rima, Ayu & Emi for the lovely comments.  Ayu, for the first couple of rows I used the 5 petal cutters but then cut them into individual petals.  For the outer layers I used a heart cookie cutters that I manipulated into a petal shape and the last 2 rows I used an oval cutter.  I used this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1nIACibXKg.  This is part 1 of the tutorial.  Although it has a lot of petals, it is pretty easy to do.

Beautiful!!And lovely color too!
