SSCC Pastel Challenge

P1000688 copy It’s been a little while since I’ve played around with making a hand crafted flower…but once I picked up a couple of the Mc Gill Flower Punches….I couldn’t put them down… and then….I really couldn’t wait to show you what I came up with. The details in the punches for each petal are what really sets these flowers apart.

After I punched the petals and leaves, I added a bit of ink to each petal. When I had the flower assembled, I added a tiny but of Glossy Accents to the edges of the flowers petals and then sprinkled it with Twinklets Diamond Dust. The Mc Gill Flower Punches are available at Stamping Scrapping, along with a very simple and easy to follow video tutorial.

For my image, using the SSD Beaded Ovals set from Stamping Scrapping, I stamped and heat embossed a border for my sentiment from Papertey Ink.

    I have the whole flower punch set as well and have made this flower...but I think yours came out better than mine did. And I really think I need that Martha Stewart punch.

    You make the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen in my life - I kid you not!! Why Sherri, you could start your own flower company and put WOC right out of business. I love all the flowers you make and I want to come out there so you can teach me how. You card is beautiful dear heart - I love it.
