My Pretty flower was created with the help of my Cricut and the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge, Graphic 45's Baby 2 Bride dp's and a vintage gem brad. I layered my lovely flower onto SB Classic Ovals and Open Scallop Ovals die cuts that I popped up with a bit of foam tape. To finish it all up. I stamped my Hero Arts Sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa directly onto my main panel and added a fun scalloped border... 8-)
