I'm sure some of you have probably attended one of Joan Huff's seminar's, which included one of her delicately painted "walls" in the back of the egg. OK - I can hear you all saying - delicately painted, yeah right!!!

Having attended one of these seminars when Joan came to Australia, I think painting THAT tiny wall was probably the most stressful part of the whole seminar.

Now you can beat Joan at her own game (who knows, she may even take pity on the artistically challenged among us and provide tiny sheets of wallpaper in her kits) by making your own tiny wallpaper in whatever pattern and colour you wish.

There are many very dainty dingbat fonts that are perfect for doing this type of thing.

For this one I used the Fleuron font, letters G & H. I coloured Layer 1 pale pink, and then on the second layer I used the dark pink to print one G flower and on the next line an H flower. On the third layer I changed the colour to green and repeated the flowers. I used the Mover Tool to align the green print over the top of the pink print and then used the Eraser to remove the green flower. I then merged the two flower layers together. I used the Deformation tool to rotate the flowers to the vertical position. To get the multiple rows of flowers I duplicated the layers and then moved them into position.

Another example using Borderbat Fleur2 - numbers 4 & 3
