Lay a fresh piece of blotting paper on to the piece of wood. It is a good idea to lay the flowers down on the blotting paper in the same shape and arrangement as you are going to have them on your card. So before cutting the flowers, sit for a moment and look at the flowers and plan how you are going to arrange it on your card. You might also outline the size of your card on the blotting paper to give you a better idea of dimensions. Almost any flower is suitable.
Some flowers have very pretty blossoms attached along the length of a long and straggly stem.
Just cheat a little. Cut a small length of stem, use the tweezers to pluck off blossoms lower down the stem, then place them higher up on the stem. You can also pluck individual petals off the flower and, once dry, use them to make patterns around the borders of the card or to build your own imaginary flowers on the card. Grass-seed heads also make attractive arrangements. Once your flowers are arranged on the blotting paper, carefully place another piece of blotting paper over them.
