With today's card, I'm playing along in the March 2011 {ippity} Monthly Challenge {with a twist}--specifically the inspiration photo for this month.
I had to go large (5" x 7") with this card to make sure all of those flowers would fit! I used the leaf image from Now & Always and the birthday sentiment from Just Wanted to Say. For the flowers, I used my circle punches to punch four circles in different sizes for each flower. I spritzed them lightly with water, pinched and crumpled them, and then allowed them to dry. Finally, all I had to do was stack them up to create a flower and attach it to my card with a rhinestone-studded brad. Easy!
For more details about this card, including a peek at the gorgeous pillow that inspired it, you can check out my blog here: http://mylittlesliceofbliss.blogspot...log-candy.html
(Psst . . . and you'll find a little blog candy there, too!)
Thanks for taking a look!
Emily
PS Punch tally: a total of 28, all circles of various sizes. I got quite a workout!!

Is this Emzi Envy week???? Your flowers are flower-is-tic Emzi. The array of them in different colors looks so cool with the brads in the centers. Hey, are you trying to beat the punch amounts this week??? Since Agent 9999 has already seen the card, I expect it is free of a faux punch count and spy equipment. Hugs!
