Addicted to Flowers!

This week at Addicted to Stamps and More! our challenge is flowers!  This one was an easy one for me because I LOVE making flowers.  Plus, I got to work with some new goodies that came in today!  A win, win!  I decided to use this classy color combination from Pals Paper Arts this week:
Funny that I called it classy because that is what they called it on their website too!  Well, a classy color combo called for a classy card!

For the Crumb Cake flower, I used the biggest flower on the Fun Flowers Large Bigz Die.  I die cut three of them, spritzed them with water, crumpled them up, dried them with my heat tool, then hot glued them together.  I also spritzed them with some homemade shimmer spritz!  I made it inside the new Stampin' Spritzers that we sell by mixing rubbing alcohol (I could only find 50% but I hear that the higher the percentage, the faster the paper dries) with three drops of Crumb Cake ink refill and eight drops of Frost White Shimmer Paint. I am going to have to start stocking up on that stuff...the glimmer it adds to the Shimmer Spritz is amazing!  I did basically the same thing with the Riding Hood Red flowers, except I used five of the 1 1/8" Scallop Circle Punches for them.  The background is also spritzed with my Crumb Cake Shimmer Spritz.  I wanted a thin layer of Crumb Cake behind the Very Vanilla, but the Window Frames Framelit was a little too big, so I made my own with my 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  Pretty clever, huh? :)  I did have a square behind there too, but decided I liked the edges poking out a bit.
