This is another of the latest batch of new stamps from Quietfire Design, They're beautiful.

My previous card had the same type of flower. I had seen something on the net using a couple tag punches that were overlapped to create a snowflake and it got me thinking, which is how this flower came about. My previous flower was larger, so decided to make a slightly smaller one, which I'm much happier with. It uses Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large & Small (#S4-110 & 112). For this flower you need 16 ovals with their centers cut out to create thin border ovals. I adhered 4 of the ovals to a small 1" circle evenly distributed. I then adhered the next row of 4 circles so they overlapped but fell between the first layer. I adhered a piece of scrapbook paper, then cut around the petals. Put that aside while I did the next set, but for this one I didn't adhere to scrapbook paper, or cut away the extra part of the petals. Adhered the first bunch on top of the 2nd bunch.

The center portion is the small visible circle, then a daisy punched flower, a brad I covered with some glitter and a rhinestone.

I love the clean but yet colorful look of this card.

The paper I used for the flower ovals was done with dirty Kleenex from a painting and inking session, adhered to thin white cardstock with a  glue stick. Love this type of decorated paper. Such a serendipitous result.

I embossed a piece of white cardstock with the Oriental Weave embossing folder (Cuttlebug Asian Bundle set (#2000011). Adhered it to a bright yellow cardstock, then on to my main white card.

The corners are the cut off pieces from the flower.

Stamped the quote with Versafine Black Onyx, clear embossed it. Die cut both the quote and underlayer Spellbinders Labels (one large & one small #S4-168 & 169). Sponged some Dusty Concord around the edges of the quote piece.

Added the rhinestones on the corner pieces.
