I was inspired by the Coneflowers that are planted in the beds as you turn into my subdivision...they are in full bloom right now. I was a little challenged by the color of the purple coneflowers...but Orchid Opulence cardstock rubbed with a little Rose Red ink matches their color fine. The centers are Rose Red cardstock rubbed with Bravo Burgundy to darken them.
I took the Scallop punch and cut the scallops towards the center to make petals, then folded the Scallop in half. I used the 3/4 circle punch for the centers and small oval punch for the leaves. I followed a tip from another Blog...sorry I can't remember which one...that said to fold the leaf oval in half and rub ink over it...the crease will look like the stem of the leaf. Very clever! I layered the flowers with dimensionals so parts of them are popped up and curled the petals under. I had a lot of fun designing this card!
