Papertrey May blog hop challenge

Hi and thanks for visiting :)  The challenge this month is to create something featuring flowers. I decided to make a rolled flower embellishment from felt. Melon berry felt to be precise.  Here's what I came up with:

And here's a close up of the flower.  I cut a circle from the felt, then cut round the circle as Maile shows in this post (scroll down a bit).  I then rolled it up and secured it with fabric glue.  Two stick pins act as 'leaves':
