How to make a lace flower.

I've finished the wedding card which I'll put on later. I've decorated it with flowers, one of them I made with lace. I took a 6" piece of white lace stitched along the top with running stitch then pulled the thread to gather it. Then I stitched the two open ends together .......hey presto a flower. I added a gem to the centre. Really pretty and only took a minute.
