胡蓉

你是否曾想過要留住春天？留住嬌艷芬芳的花朵？那就快動手吧，一個清香美麗的花卡馬上就會出現在你眼前了。

What you need： fresh， delicate and thin flowers and leaves， phone book， good quality paper， scissors， glue and tweezers 新鮮、清香、細小的花和葉子，電話簿，好質量的紙，剪刀，膠水和鑷子

What you do：

1. Pick some fresh， delicate and thin flowers and leaves. 選擇一些新鮮、清香、細小的花和葉子。

2. Press each flower and leaf in a thick phone book. It takes at least a week or two to completely dry. 將每一朵花和葉子壓在厚的電話薄中，至少需要一周或兩周的時間使之完全干燥。

3. Carefully remove the dried flowers from the book. Arrange them on your paper artistically. You may trim some stems with a pair of scissors. 小心地將干燥的花從書中移走，藝術地將它們安排在你的紙上。你可以用剪刀修剪枝葉。

4. Remove the plants， remembering where the plants were so you can put them back later. Brush a thin layer of glue on the paper where the dried plants were. 取走花葉，記住花、葉的位置以便你以后能將它們放回原位。在放置干植物位置的紙上刷一薄層膠水。

5. Carefully put the plants back in place. This can be difficult. It is helpful to use tweezers to place them on the glue. Make sure all the plant material is touching the glue and lying flat on the paper. Let the glue dry completely. 小心地將植物放回原處。這可能有些困難。鑷子能幫助在膠水處放置于花葉。確信所有的花、葉材料接觸到膠水，并平鋪在紙上。讓膠水完全風干。

You now have a beautiful and delicate card. Watch and smell it. How happy youll be！ 你現在有一個美麗、芬芳的卡片。看著它、聞著它，你會多么高興啊！
