TH Tattered Florals - Organza Flower

I bought a roll of wide organza and made a few flowers using Tim Holtz' Tattered Florals alterations die. The technique is easy- just give the outside edges of the petals a blast with your hot embossing gun and it causes the ribbon to curl up.  Be careful not to heat too closely as the ribbon will melt very quickly.

The papers and chipboard sticker are from a card kit by My Mind's Eye. I love the shades of brown and blue together! I also used a wide scroll border and leafy branch punches by Martha Stewart; ribbon by Stampin'Up!, petite scallop Nestabilities die and a few prima flowers. I made this card for a friend who is having day surgery soon.
