It's way faster than it looks. I love crumpled leaves. If you can't cut a leaf freeform then stamp a leaf and cut it out and then you have the option to use the reverse side. The soft green leaf is a white leaf, crumpled and then rubbed with Old Olive.
This card used Level 2 set for the envelope and flower on inside of the card.
The words are from
The card is one of the new In Colors: Rich Razzleberry. Wow it is pretty.
Now the flower is from the round scallop die. You get 2 sizes. Best to sponge color on the edges and then go back and add some soft streaks of color out to the edge leaving sort of a soft center. To make the cuts which makes it look like it's been scored, make long cuts from scallop indentions and then shorter cuts in the actual scallop..... make sense. Then brush more color on and it sticks to the cuts and viola... the illusion is solved.
The dark center is using a 1" punch that has been snipped around the edge. Glue dot holds the button on. I was inspired for this flower and card by Joanne, Sussex England, Mainly Flowers.
The edge is using the scallop eyelet border punch. Be prepared for lots of little dots. Oh my that would be great confetti. I'm sure there is something we could do with those dots. oooooooh I just had an idea. a glue dot in the center and then drop the dots onto the glue dot and I do think it would really look like the center of a flower. Will have to try that and post.
The inside of this card is simple and since the cardstock is dark, there is another sheet inside, simple. Oh I'll bet you can't really see how pretty the white background is on this card. It's using one of the texture plates. Maybe enlarge it and maybe you can see it.
