experimentation hydrangeas

Been wanting to try see if i could get the imprint from the actual flower onto the silver- many people have suggested i try it but never got round to doing it so I tried it and it worked really well!
here is a pic of the first hydrangea I created with it.

i think the print is lovely but the petals are too thick and the actual flower is too stiff and hard- not the look I am going for at all! The veins capture the fragility I am wanting but the peatls donot.
