The 3 doily flowers were made with ½ of a 4” doily. I cut part of the center off so it was easier roll. As you twist, gather, pinch and roll the stem to form the flower add a little glue along the base to hold it together. The tighter you gather the smaller the flower. The looser you gather the larger the flower. I add color using Pan Pastels after the flower was completed.
The “white with purple flowers” are made using the Martha Stewart Hydrangea Medium and 3 in 1 Punch and the Punch Bunch Med. Big Sky Punch. Punch the flowers and crease each petal in ½. Add a purple line on the crease using a felt pen. For the Stamen use the Big Sky Punch and lavender cardstock; then, cut off the longest petals. Use Stickles Lavender Glitter Glue on the dots of the remaining stamen. Cup the stamen and glue to flower center. Add a jewel and cover it with Glitter Glue. Make 3 medium and 7 small flowers.
The leaves are a combination of Digi, Bella Rose Dies and Leaves; and Mini Fanciful Flourish. The glittered butterfly is from the Mini Exotic Butterflies collection. The lace is from JoanneÂ’s.
The card base is an easel card (see SCS Tutorials) cut from Lavender Cardstock using Spellbinders Grand Labels 1 - #3. Layer 2 is purple cut from Grand Labels 1 - #2. Trace the inside of Dies #2 for the striped layer. The Oval is from Opulent Ovals #6, #7. I added Lavender Glitter Glue on the edges and adhered the oval using Dimensionals.
Happy birthday tag is from Spellbinders Fancy Tags. I used my blending tool on the edges before I removed it from the Die to give it a white border.
