One In A Million

I was playing around tonight with my newest petite scalloped Nestabilities and came up with a flower using the smallest oval as the petals.  After playing around with it for a while and adding layers, I finished off the flower and then didn’t quite know what I wanted to do with it.  It’s rather large, but I decided to put it on a card.

It has quite a bit of height, but depending on what I use it for, it can be flattened somewhat.  I took several pictures to show how easy it was to put together.

Cut and emboss smallest oval.  With the die still in place, stamp with background stamp.   Repeat for all 5 petals.







Score each petal 1/2″ from left side and fold.










Sponge or smudge the edge of each petal with Distress Ink.








Use a dowel or a pair of scissors to curl each petal.  Use glue dots to attach each petal to a 1¼” or 1½” base circle with the folded hinge in the center.













Cut five more petals out of vellum.  Score 1/2″ from left edge.  Sponge lightly with distress ink.  Curl each petal then attach to bottom of circle base with glue dots. 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Stampin Up Filigree Background (Retired), My Sentiments Exactly – Friends Always
Paper: Bazzill, The Paper Company – Kraft, Cottownwood
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk – Pink Pastel, Colorbox Chalk – Rouge, Distress Ink – Aged Mahogany
Accessories:  Nestabilities – Petite Scallops, SU Label Punch, Oval Punch, 1½” Circle Punch, 1¼” Circle Punch,  Leaf Punch, Big Brad, Quickutz Swirls, Ribbon

    What a great card. I noticed your wooden inker with the foam attached. Can you share where you got that? Looks neat. I am using Tim’s foam pads, they are a little expensive.ReplyCancel

    Becca, I’m almost afraid to share my flower with you. It pales in comparison to yours!. In reviewing your flower again, I see why your’s isnt nearly as ‘big’ as mine. I’ll try it again and again until I get it right! I’ve also just checked out your ‘card of the week’. Yikes, I’m going to need a job just to keep up with your magnificent work! Girl, you are so blessed! Thanks so much for sharing your work and your tutorials!
