..I wanted to play along with Papertrey Ink Make It Monday # 61 , but had no leaf dies at all, so thought about it for a couple of days before a light bulb went on and I decided to use my Lamp shade dies from Lighten Up set. I turned them upside down and saw a a beautiful flower in them!
So here we are, a card with a flower using a non flower die.......
Gave the lamp shades a light watercolor wash in yellow, heat embossed the sentiment and dry embossed the background with an alterations Tim Holtz folder.
cut the stems and leaf by hand
Close up of the flower and embossing
