week #544 - Make Your Own Flowers

Time for a new challenge at Allsorts. This time Helene has chosen the theme of Make Your Own Flowers.

I've been meaning to use this JND die for a while now and thought this was the perfect opportunity to try it out. I bought the single three flower die and then used it to make the nine layout. I cut it from a slightly larger piece of card so that I could then use the TL pinpoint edge die around the outside. I then used a piece of pale blue card to mount it all onto.

Next I cut again from some turquoise card and then layered up the flowers and put some of the waste back in around the flowers.

Finally I added some gems and a sentiment die which I cut out three times so that it stood out from the card. I made my own folded base card using the same cream card as the die cutting.
