What sort of Hot Air tool have you got, I have seen a mini hot air blower on EBay for £14.99,

I am thinking of getting one..

:thumbup; :thumbup; :thumbup; These are fantastic Catherine, I've been trying to use a hairdryer, but it's very difficult to control! You've obviously got great control with these! Another item to go on my wish list! :huggy: :love: Sylvia

Great work, Catherine :art: I love the dog rose especially :thumbup;

Sally, £14.99 is pretty standard everywhere for a hot air gun ;) Most craft shops have them at that price, and you can sometimes get them for a bit less :)

There's a hotair gun in the Webb Ivory Christmas catalogue for about a tenner. (You can tell it's the start of summer when xmas catalogues start to arrive! :r )

I love the dog rose best. The purity of the yellow is just wonderful!

There are so many flowers out in our garden now I might even get inspired to do a few myself if I get some time!

thanks everyone! terry, these are about A6, to go on cards, and I used a hairdryer on these, I have a heat tool but find I tend to burn the card if Im not carefull, my hairdryer has two speeds and 3 tempretures so its good to using.

looking forward to having another go later, looking forward to seeing all the other hot air blown flowers blooming later! xx :thumbup;
