A fancy flower

I created a card for an upcoming birthday using card sketch 84 at Sketches! { by Tamara}. The Timeless Tuesday challenge at the Flourishes blog was to use vellum. I die cut some of the flower layers from green vellum. When I first started scrapbooking and cardmaking, I thought I just HAD TO HAVE vellum, so I have plently and rarely use it anymore. I'm glad I ran across a challenge that encourages me to use it.

Paper: Bazzill cardstock, Hot off the Press patterned paper
Stamp: Inkadinkado
Accents: Making Memories Blossoms and Buttons flower and button
Tools: Martha Stewart lattice border punch, Sizzix Flower Layers #3, Cuttlebug funky circles die

Instead, I did a little more searching and then just did it my way. Most people suggest painting your stryofoam ball in a complimentary color first. I skipped this step because I was in a hurry, but I do recommend you do that. I used a 4 in styrofoam ball, 3 different size ornaments and a glitter pick. I also used a dowel rod which I covered in washi tape and a planter from the dollar tree. My planter was originally bronze, but with a few coats of spray paint it became silver. You also need some foam for the planter and something to cover it with. I used moss and blue glass pebbles. The pebbles give the bottom some weight. I think this makes a much better centerpiece for this ar
