For Large Flower

  2. Cut a rough circle from each color, then distress edges.
  3. Make random creases in the circles, then sand with sandpaper to reveal where the ink has seeped to the white core.
  4. Adhere the circles together using pop dots.
  5. Add pearls to the center.

Small Flower & Bud

  • Create the small flower in the same manner, but only use two circles (Aubergine and Iris.)
  • For the bud, stamp the Starbust with Iris chalk ink on Aubergine and distress as before. Fold ink half, then fold in half again. Add glue to the folds to hold the bud in place.

For the Leaves

  1. Stamp Starburst with Grass chalk ink on a Pine notecard and cut into a leaf shape.
  2. Distress the edges.
  3. Crease down the center, then sand with sandpaper.

For the Card

  1. Stamp Distress Frame with Punch chalk ink on a Punch notecard.
  2. Round the top corners with a punch.
  3. Stamp message with VersaMark ink and heat emboss with white powder.
  4. Add Lilac and White strips.
  5. Add flowers, leaves, and pearls.
