Mini Doliy Die Flower Card with Sweet Treats

 Hi everyone. Thanks to all my new followers for following me :) Sorry I have been so quiet lately lol. We had a visitor from England for a couple of weeks so things have been a little bit hectic! Anyway here is this fortnights DT entry for Eclectic Ellapu. This week I am using KaiserCrafts Sweet Treats 12" stack. Here you can see the papers my helper, miss 9, and I decided to use although we did change one at a later point lol. In the upper right corner you can see the Mini Doily Dies from Lifestyle Crafts that we used.

 To make our flowers for this card we used my new toy the Ebosser to cut five of each of the three different mini dies we had chosen. Miss 9 thought using the Ebosser was lots of fun and I think it's the best thing since sliced bread lol. She also helped to pop all the little bits out of the dies :)

 As you can see I then put her to work colouring the Mini Doily Dies with Picked Raspberries Distress stain. She coloured the edges on the front side and as the paper is white on the back we then flipped them over and coloured a fair bit of the back as well so that when we folded the flowers we would see pink instead of white (we didn't colour the back of one as this would be the base of our flower).

Miss 9 attempted to do some folding but she bailed out very quickly... Too boring for her lol. To fold the flowers I folded them in half, being careful to try and match up the scallops, and then folded them in half again. For each flower I made four of these. I then inked the edges of the folded petals as you can see below.

This was the hard bit! Figuring out which way to place my "petals" so no two opened right next to each other lol. My Glues are MIA so I added some double sided tape to my base mini doily die cuts and then carefully lined up my folded pieces so they would meet in the middle.

Here is where we changed the background piece as the first piece was way too busy. Miss 9 had fun flipping through the stack until she found this pattern and declared it perfect! I then cut a thin strip off  the end of a piece of green and white leafy pp from the same stack for our flower stems.

Miss 9 Chose the ribbon for the bow and I opened up some new stamps I received in the mail this week to create my sentiment. The die and stamps are from Whimsy Stamps. Stamps are Celebration Mini Tickets (I also have the Love Mini Tickets) and the die is the Mini Ticket Die. I stamped the two mini tickets with picked raspberries to tie it in with the rest of the card.

Hope you enjoyed my DT entry this fortnight. I have an exciting project that has been taking up a lot of my time lately to share really soon hopefully :)
Happy Scrappin'
