Spring Flowers

Here is a card I made and I can't believe I didn't show everyone earlier! We made this card at the April Technique Class, just in time for Mother's Day. I meant to post these before Mother's Day but apparently the time got away from me. What I did learn from my mother is that I should have included instructions with this one. Instead of opening like a regular card the flowers pop out to reveal the message. It is really cute but apparently also mildly confusing.

The paper that I used is the sale-a-bration DSP and I used matching cs for the rim - So Saffron or Certainly Celery. The ribbon is Pretty in Pink and it matches the light flowers, the dark ones are Rose Red. Now about the flowers... on the yellow card are brighter because they are covered with clear embossing powder whereas the flowers on the green card are just plain. I added some bling to the center of the flowers with dazzling diamonds glitter, but in order to get it to stick to the embossed flowers I had to use Crystal Effects. It was a learning experience to figure out how to get the glitter to stick, you definitly don't use the two-way glue!
