I can't stop making these little bags. This one took a bit of fussing but it was very worth it.
And you probably can't see very well, but the leaves and flowers are just covered with Dazzling Diamonds! This particular version I used Flirty Flamingo paper for the rose. I also like to use Very Vanilla with Flirty Flamingo sponging on the edges for a more delicate flower.
Here's a downloadable PDF for the instructions - Instructions - sorry, not for the faint of heart.
A. Rose
a.
From: Mary Ellen Stites blog where she shows how to make 3D flowers
using Stampin’ Up! punches

Punch out 3 Pansies and 3 Petite Petals from Flirty
Flamingo or Blushing Bride paper
d. Using
Sponge Dauber and Flirty Flamingo ink, sponge edges and center of flowers,
doing both sides of the Petite Petals and one side of the Pansies.
e. Spritz well
with water the back of a flower and then pounce (hard) on the petal edges of
the back side of one flower, then turn over and make a line down the center of
each petal. You may have to use a bone folder to bend the tips back and cup the
flower petals in. Repeat for all flowers.
f.
While wet, glue together with multipurpose glue,
starting with the small flowers and working out. Shape to make it pretty.
g.
With Fine Tip Glue Pen, make little lines of glue
along the flower edges, then pour on the Dazzling diamonds and shake off. Let
dry
