I made the most gorgous card (in my humble opinion!) yesterday!
I used Blush Blossom (a color I don't use often) with Soft Suede. I ran the piece through my Big Shot with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. Then I used my Scor It and scored diagonal lines over the whole piece. For the flower centers, I chalked Pretty in Pink on a small piece of Blush Blossom. (I think it was Pretty in Pink! Last year I dropped my chalks & had to guess which colors were which to put back in the holder.) I punched out the flower centers with my 1/4" circle punch and glued them down. The flower is vellum that I chalked with a little Blush Blossom and a little Pretty in Pink (???). I punched 10 circles with my Scallop Circle Punch and punched a hole through the middle with my piercer and put a brad through the middle. Then I just scrunched up each petal to the middle. Here's a close-up of the flower -
The leaves are from the Big Shot also using the Little Leaves die and Certainly Celery. Tie a piece of Soft Suede polka dot ribbon and mat the piece onto Soft Suede. Then adhere the whole thing to a Blush Blossom card. Then sentiment is from Whimsical Words (Saleabration). I punched it out with my small oval punch and chalked the edges.
