I was inspired by the black corsage, but I wanted to make a prettier one using a range of colours and fabrics. I began by cutting a couple of strips of lace and cream coloured fabrics, which I then gathered together at the bottom with a gathering stitch. I bent them round to form the circular base of the flower.
I then collected all the fabrics I have in the chosen colour scheme, I cut out rough circular shapes with scalloped edges. I didn't want these pieces to be the exact same shape and size, so they layer nicely. I piled them up onto the base layer and stitched them in place.
At the very centre I added some small pearls and diamontes (from josyrose).
This is the finished piece.
