Method:
Die cut 6 flowers from the cryogen paper with each of the 4 flower dies. Die cut 2 leaves.
Curl all the petals of the flowers inwards and then assemble inside each other starting with the largest and ending with the smallest.
Colour the leaves using the Bamboo Leaves dye ink.
Die cut 3 pink flowers using the smallest die and assemble together, glue inside the flower and add some of the pink sprig embellishment to the middle.
Using green card, die cut a flourish using the D-Lites die.
I have used a strip of double-sided tape to adhere the glitter.
Assemble the card as in the photo. ..........................................................................................................................
