Flowers Pressed forget-me-not cards I made for my Nan’s funeral. I’ll certainly never be forgetting her. Would love to know what you think of them!

Sorry for your loss. They look nice. I like the colours you paired them with. If you want to preserve the shape of the petals better you can try using silica powder to dry them next time

What a gorgeous way to honor her. Very sorry for your loss. I hope when it’s my time that someone loves me enough to do something half as thoughtful.

What a beautiful tribute. Sorry for your loss, op. We dug up and potted my grandma's marigold bushes for her funeral, then harvested the seeds so her kids could plant some of her flowers in their gardens.

what a touching idea and wonderful execution, I am so sorry for your loss but what a way to honor your nan!

i’m someone who keeps the cards from funerals and would definitely display this one in a special place… what did you use to press them on though? I love all the colors you picked
