Hello.......
We have been creative with the Build A Flower workshop this week.Our ladies made these lovely two cards with stamp sets from Personal Impressions.

                                              

They are clear stamp sets so ready to mount onto acrylic block no messing with u-mount or adhesive.

The above card is 6" square with two mats of green cardstock 14.5cm x 14.5cm and Lavender cardstock 14cm x 14cm layered together.A piece of white cardstsock has been inked with Distress Ink - Peeled Paint and then die-cut using Sue Wilson Die - Umbria (CED1504).Layer onto mat and attach a strip of ribbon ,mount onto front of card.The flower has been created by stamping a selection of the petals from the stamp set (PICS023) giving you 17 petals.Cut out and attach to a punch circle of cardstock arranging into a flower.Mount in the centre of the card.Embellish with a Ribbon Flower and Bow.

This card is A5 .Layer mats of Purple Mirri (14.5cm x 20.5cm),White Cardstock (13.5cm x 19cm),White Cardstock inked with Distress ink - Dusty Concord (12cm x 17cm) and a die-cut using the Sue Wilson die - Spanish Background (CED 1201).Attach a punched border and ribbon ,mount onto card.

Stamp 10 large petals and 10 smaller petals,cut out.Attach large petals onto a circle of cardstock and then attach the smaller petals upside down, curl over and attach to the circle leaving room for a ribbon flower embellishment.Mount in the centre of the card and embellish with ribbon bow.

Just think how wonderful these would look in different colours or using the flower as a topper for your decorative boxes.

We will leave you with that thought .Until next time.....
