Some flowers may be too large for a card. You can still press these flowers and use the petals to create free-form designs.
 |  | DIFFICULTY:  ratings key SAY IT WITH FLOWERS: A handmade card with flowers you pressed yourself is a touching way to show someone you care. |
Using tweezers, place the flowers on the card, trying different arrangements if using several specimens. Smaller flowers and leaves can be used to fill any gaps, if desired.
