“I cut roses again yesterday, they were getting out of hand. I have a big bowl in front of my house by the front door. I fill it with fresh water and place the cut flowers around the rim.”

That sounds beautiful!

This house came with a miniature rose bush that has the prettiest Peach-colored roses. The pedals are so pretty that I decided to see if I could dry them to have that beautiful color around longer. I just put them on a plate and dried them and they seem to be keeping their color. Do you have any other advice on what I can do with them?

I press flowers and petals in big books.

When I write to a friend who is sick or if it is their birthday, I put them inside the card and then when they open it, they have flower showers!!

Use spray adhesive, rubber cement or a glue gun.

The pedals do not have to be exact on the flower area . All colors hanging over will look beautiful. Peach goes with all these colors.

And if your pedals are large.just pick cards with larger flowers. Don't hold back..place some tiny green pedals around the bottom of the flower where it connects to the stem. The watercolor drawing is NOT to BE completely covered. Let both real and watercolor drawing be part of the art work.

The more you try the better and more confident you will be. Have fun.

How to Preserve Flowers With Sand
Pour a half-inch layer of sand into a sturdy box.
Lay the flowers or foliage and stems on the sand.
Slowly pour sand around, under and over each part of the flower — the flowers must be completely covered.
Allow two weeks for the flowers to dry, then remove the sand.

Or you can buy Silica and do the same as above.
