This morning my sons and I went to Shopko and then to the library. While at Shopko I picked up a new stamp set, named "Build-a-flower" by the Autumn Leaves company. It has 34 different stamps, each one a different flower part.
Later this afternoon while reading through the scrapbookaddict blog ring, I came across a post from Michelle entitled "Well, at least I tried" (Michelle's blog) that featured two very cute flower cards. I decided to try my new stamp set out making something similar to Michelle's card. It was fun to do, though the card is a lot bigger than what I normally make, a full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper folded into (my normal cards are half a sheet of paper folded in half).

The center of the flower is one stamp, the petals another one, the stem another, and the leaf a final one. I stamped the petals in orange and then colored them with a yellow watercolor pencil, blending it with a brush and water. I added a little rhinestone in the center for a little bling and tied some orange rick-rack around the stem in a bow.
A little closer look at the flower.
