Valentine Fun Flowers Table Decoration

Here is a fun table decoration I did using the Fun Flowers die on page 39 of the Occasions mini catalog. I LOVE this flower die. Here I decided to make a Valentine's arrangement, and used Real Red & Basic Grey card stock along with our Love Impressions dsp on page 7. I just cut out a bunch of pieces, sponged them (of course) and started stacking them, large first then smaller ones. Added one of our BIG buttons that has Linen Thread through it. The sentiment is from the level 2 hostess set in the mini too. All of us at Leadership got this for FREE from Shelli along with some other items. Stampin' Up! is so good to ALL of us. This is what I ended up with. The little heart container I've had for a couple of years. I think I bought it at the "M" store. After I got my flower made (I used hot glue to glue them together) I sandwiched a skewer between 2 of the larger flowers. Added some floral foam inside my container and covered the foam with that filler stuff, I can't remember the name of that stuff.........This whole thing took me about a half hour to make. Sorry about the bad photo. We haven't seen sun here in Northern California, (you know sunny California) in a few days now.

Here are some close ups of each flower. I also forgot to mention that I used my bone folder to curl the edges of my flowers. I really don't like "flat" flowers.
