You should have arrived here from ***ScrappinKaty***. If you encounter any problems along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of the blog hop participants at her blog If You Bling It.

I started out with a different card in mind, but after cutting the dies from the Circles and Patterns Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (CC3224), my focus shifted and I ended up creating this card.

When I cut the die that reminds me of a wedding ring quilt, some of the pieces made me think of flower petals, so I decided to experiment. I came up with this dimensional flower. 

I made two cuts of Lemonade for the flower and one cut of Clover for the flower. I stamped the Lemonade petals with Lemonade and Mocha inks and I stamped the Clover leaves with Clover ink.

When stamping on the leaves I lined up the stamp so it would look like veins on the leaves. Then I scored the leaves down the middle and pinched to add dimension. I glued just the tips of the leaves together with Dual-tip Multi-bond Glue Pen (Z3441) to make a cluster.

To hold the flower together I used the Circle Thin Cuts to cut a base and attached the petals with Dual-tip Multi-bond Glue Pen (Z3441). So the length of petals is even all the way around, I folded the circle base in quarters to aid with petal placement.

For the flower center I used the Circle Thin Cut to cut Mocha cardstock. I stamped that cut with Mocha ink then added using 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151).

I shaped the petals by placing the flower in the palm of my hand and rolling the end of a paint brush across the petal.

I stamped the Bluebird cardstock with Bluebird ink to create a background and I cut a piece of White Glitter Paper using the Fancy Borders Thin Cuts to decorate the card. 

I stamped "Many Thanks" (from the Many Wishes Cardmaking Workshop Kit) on White Daisy using Bluebird ink and dove-tailed the end before attaching to the card.
