The idea for this card hit me one day when I spied an adorable gift bag while I was out shopping. It had several colorful spring flowers on a fun purple background. I was drawn to one BIG yellow flower, so I decided to make that the focus of my card. I knew I wanted to cut the flower out of chipboard, so I rummaged through my stash and was happy to find a piece that had a white top layer. So I ran that through my Big Shot machine with a flower die. Then I used Dries Clear adhesive with a beautiful shade of yellow glitter on the flower and did the same thing with pink glitter for the circle in the center. I let both pieces dry and then adhered the center to the flower. I stamped the stem with a Dandelion stamp, added lime glitter for more sparkle, and then attached the flower to the stem with foam tape. The grass layer is punched out of green cardstock and I just couldnÂ’t resist adding glitter to it too!
