My intention when I booked marked it was to make it as instructed. But, I had a moment where I thought I could, gasp, deviate from the rules and make something inspired by Cathy’s design, but not exactly. I had this beautiful inviatation to Annie and Eric’s wedding and I thought it would make a perfect construction material.

I don’t know that I need to write out all the instructions here, because if you follow the instructions from Cathy, it’s pretty easy to adapt it. What I didn’t do was mod podge the paper, I instead sprayed it with stuff that made it shiney and I didn’t need to paint the paper since what I had was so pretty.

I then grabbed every other invitation I had and made it into a broach also. I also think this method of making paper flowers would make georgeous package toppers as well. I’m thinking about fastening them to the front of chinese take out gift boxes or plain brown paper gift bags.
