Brand new technique! Faux Pressed flowers. This was so fun to make.
These cards were made by myself and my daughter, Jennifer Ancheta, also a member here. We make a great team!

We stamped the flowers on watercolor paper then colored with wonder crayons. Cut all the flowers and leaves out individually.
Cut out the window on full card front, cut a window sheet square to cover hole, use mono to glue to card. use glue dots to adhere flowers on the window sheet, put another window sheet on top of flowers, adhere with mono.
Cut card front and mat behind that with holes, using colluzel or another circle cutting system.
I used Houndstooth background on top mat before layering.
For the button, I stamped one card front size card with houndstooth, perfect plum. I threaded the grosgrain ribbon through the holes first, then traced the outline of the button on back of stamped paer, cut it out and used a glue dot to stick it on the back of the button.
