Stately Flowers 2: I used this big Camellia flower for my card, this is the Alabama State Flower. Honestly I have to do a lot of research, colors, shades, etc. I am learning a lot with all these beautiful flowers.

Directions:

• Die-cut a couple of pieces of Innocent Pink CS with Scallop Circle Nestabilities.
• Stamp sentiment in one of the Scallop circles.
• Die-cut a piece of Patterned Paper (from True Love StampTV Kit), ink all edges and adhere it to one of the scallop circles, add zig zag sttiches.
• Stamp image on White CS, color it with Copic Markers. Stamp extra flowers and cut them out to create a 3D effect (cut smaller pieces so your flower can have a natural look)
• Score 1 scallop circle about 0.50", add scor-tape and adhere stitched piece.
• Die-cut, emboss and stencil image with Circle Nestabilities. Adhere image to Scallop circle Card with pop dots.
