My Eighth Design: Gokce Flower

 

I created the Gokce flower (on the left) on 10 March 2021, together with the Leyla flower. My inspiration is again Dasa Severova's Archana flower.

The flower is also suitable to put a stem and place in a bouquet. I tried it with lighter paper and heavier paper. The results are good.

Gokce is my sister's name. She is my sunshine, so I thought it would be appropriate to give her name to a flower that looks like sunshine.
