June, these were fun to do, but is there any way to make them smaller?  Look how BIG they are on the placemat!

Ahhhh....you've become a coffee filter paper convert!!!! There beautiful.....

Well, I am in amazement, Bonnie!  I had no idea you could make something like this with coffee filters!  The larger on looks just like a carnation and the smaller like an old garden rose....love them (not looking at the wafer paper - afraid!!!)!  Actually, the wafer paper ones a lovely, as well. I am just scared of the stuff.

That is what Tammi Utley did with her rose!!

That is kind of tricky Bonnie.  You can lightly mist it & use a veiner but it's tough to get the right amount.

Goreti,if you notice on the big one, the only one I did in the wafer paper, I was able to get a little pattern on the petals by sticking a pencil under it & pressing down well on it to get that much needed rise/ripple effect.  Did this all the way across the petal, as close together as I dared too.

Do you have any other suggestions for impressing with the wafer paper?

Thanks ladies!  I have to admit, it was easier than I thought it would be!  The hardest part was finding the templates for them.
