Flower #31

It's not that I have anything against Hallmark, I just never buy their cards. Or anyone's cards, really. I have too much fun making my own. It gives me the perfect chance to experiment with new techniques on something small. If it turns out poorly, I didn't waste a lot of material. If it turns out well, I can give it away and make someone's day as well. That's what I did for this week's flower, which came about after getting acquainted with flocking:
