A great use for those Green flowers!

Here is a little tutorial from CheekyMagpie.com about making use of green flowers from your stash.  Basically it is a case of making “3D” flowers using more usual petal colours and then using the green flowers last to make the sepals.  A good idea for making delicate little 3D embellishments for a scrapbooking page or a card.  You would need to have some covered wire, or cover some first yourself, however.

On an unrelated matter… I am constantly reminded just how lucky we all are to have the internet!  I couldn’t for the life of me remember the name of the green bit around the base of the flower, so I searched using the term “flower diagrams” and up came some drawings with the labels of all the parts of the flower.  So I was then reminded that the word I was looking for was “sepal” - and in only a few seconds too - fantastic!
