I decided to play with that idea earlier this week.
To create the flower, I punched out 8 petals with my oval punch (4 each of two different papers). I also punched out a circle in a scrap of cardstock. I glued four petals down on the circle in a + formation, then glued the other four in the same manner in between the first four. The scrap of cardstock showed through the centre so I added a large bling brad in the centre of the flower. You'll also notice some dots around the edges of the petals... I added those at the last minute as the petals just needed something. There are also dots along the centre of the blue strip as well as added under the ends of the sentiment.
items used:
*Cardstock: Stampin' Up Whisper White and Brocade Blue
*Patterned Paper: Deja View
*Image: Stampin' Up!
*Ink: Stampin' Up! Basic Black Classic Ink
*Embellishments: Making Memories jeweled brad
*Tools: Black Micron Pen, oval punch, circle punch
