Hello friends. I saw the inspiration photo at The Flower Challenge and had to make a card for it using my new Spellbinders Cosmos dies.
I die cut 3 sets of flowers from white card and ink blended Salty Ocean DOI over them, making it darker in the centers. I shaped them with my stylus before gluing together. I die cut 3 of the spikey centers from black for each flower, shaped them with my stylus and glued together. I added a rhinestone to the centers. I found this peach colored DSP in my stash (it looks lighter in the photo) and thought it would make a good background. I glued it to the front of the white card base and then had to decide how I wanted to arrange the flowers. I tried several ways before I decided to make a white square, embossed with SU Distressed Tile EF, turned in a diamond shape for the sentiment, and then arranged the flowers around the bottom. The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Elegant Thoughts Stamp & Die set. I stamped it in SU Pumpkin Pie, die cut it, and added 3 plain white die cuts for dimension, then glued it to the diamond shape.
