My friend Keava treated me to this gorgeous lace when we were at Hobbycraft so to say thanks, and congratulate her and her girlfriend Rosa on their engagement, I decided to make them both necklaces with slightly different styles to match their looks. This one was for Rosa.

    Make a cameo by sticking a circle of clear plastic on to some pressed flowers and then backing it on a piece of leather. I've explained this in a little more detail in my matching necklace tutorial.
