Instructions: 

Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 10” x 7”, score at 5” along the long size and fold to create a base card of 5” x 7”. Cut a piece of silver cardstock 5” x 7” and adhere to the front of the card. Cut a piece of pink patterned paper from the HCDP1-2102 Purr-fect Posies Paper Collection 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere to the front of card. Die cut the outer decorative die from the HCD2-7306 Decorative Circle Frames Die set out of silver cardstock and adhere to the front of the card. Die cut an eyelet circle out of pink patterned paper using the eyelet die from the HCD1-7154 Eyelet Circle & Basics Die set and adhere to the centre of the decorative die. Die cut a circle out of silver cardstock using the No 2 die from the HCD1-7154 Eyelet Circle & Basics Die and adhere to the centre of the pink eyelet circle.

Die cut two background dies – one out of white cardstock and the other out of Deluxe flower Shaping Paper. Sponge the edge of the white cardstock background with Pretty Petunia and Lilac Posies inks and adhere this to the other background shape. Stamp the sentiment image from the HCPC-3936 Ornate Just for You Cling Stamp Set in embossing ink on white cardstock and heat emboss with Silver Tinsel embossing powder. Die cut with the coordinating sentiment die and adhere to another plain sentiment die cut out of Deluxe Flower Shaping paper and then adhere to the front of the background die. Adhere to the centre of the decorative dies.

Stamp the leaf images from the HCPC-3887 Wild Asters Stamp in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour with Vivid Chartreuse and Mowed Lawn inks and die cut with the coordinating die. Colour the edges with Lilac Posies ink and on the backs with Vivid Chartreuse ink and then shape with the Groove Golf Tools. Add Crystal Clear with gloss gel and trim and adhere around the top left and the bottom right of the decorative circles as shown.

Stamp the flower images from the HCPC-3887 Wild Asters Stamp set in Pretty Petunia ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the centres of the flowers with Vivid Chartreuse ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Sponge the edges with Pretty Petunia and Lilac Posies inks and the backs of the flowers with Pretty Petunia ink. Shape using the Groove Golf Tools and assemble with two of the same size petals and pierce the centres with the pointed edge of the Groove Golf tools. Colour the white stamens with Vivid Chartreuse ink and insert through the centres of the flowers with fine wire. Fasten the stamens with Dries Clear glue and trim the threads. Adhere over the leaves as shown.

To make the buds, assemble the flowers as before but have the flowers shaping in like a cup instead of open. Stamp the small flower images from the HCPC-3887 Wild Asters Stamp in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour with Vivid Chartreuse and Mowed Lawn inks and die cut with the coordinating die. Colour the backs of the flowers with Vivid Chartreuse ink and then shape using the Groove Golf tools. Pierce the centres of the green flowers and thread some florist wire and create a hook to hold it in place. Add the pink flowers to the centres, trim the florist wire and then adhere around the flowers on the bottom left as shown.
