Poppy -No tools flowers/ creating a leaf for the Poppy

I'm finally finding time to add to my blog after wrestling with a computer program which i still haven't sorted out....its been a while and i appolgise to all those who like to follow my blog. Ive been still enjoying Joannes no tool flowers and show you the poppy i made


and a close up

you can find the pattern on Joannes Mainly Flowers blog. But ill show you how i did my leaf.
Cut 1 leaf from my pattern below and edge with black or dark green ink.

Next score a fold line down the middle and fold in half and ink edge the fold.

Fold the leaf in half with the inked side out and fold back the top tip and ink the fold line....this will create the veins on the leaf. do this both to the left and fold back to the right so it inks both veins.

then do the same for the next 2 sections.


And when you unfold the finished leaf will look like this.

Here's the leaf pattern....

I hope you enjoy these flowers as i have ...thanks again Joanne for your creativeness.

and a last thought

Since the Lord is directing our steps,
why try to understand everything
along the way?
Proverbs 20:24
