This photograph really doesn't do these cards justice. They are really very pretty cards - and much, much easier and quicker to make than T-bag folding. So simple to cut out too, no curves, just straight lines. There are eight designs - Lavender, Peach, Green, Rainbow, Sky Blue, Christmas, Mocha and Black & White (for the men folk, who are notoriously difficult to find designs for). The rosettes reminded me of water lilies, especially the delicately coloured ones - hence the name!
The designs are printed onto good quality heavy paper. All you need is A6 card (half A4, folded) either white or a colour of your choice. Each sheet contains the elements to make up the 'lily', a backing sheet, a striped strip, and two small colour blocks for you to be able to punch out shapes to embellish your cards. You can have either - one of each design, or eight of the same design, or any combination - whichever suits (maybe all Christmas papers or 4 blue & 4 pink etc). The designs come with full assembly instructions.
I have just used simple embellishments, some punched shapes and some glitter and stickers - but I know there are some very inventive people out there who could really go to town with these designs, using ribbons, stickers, jewels, glitter, stamping, punches, etc. And you could use the 'lilies' for other things too, decorating a frame or a scrapbook etc.
However you decorate your 'water lily' cards, I'd like to hear from you with your ideas. Have fun!
Each set of 8 papers with full instructions costs £5 plus p&p
