Quite Simply ... Simple ...

How often do you find that you look through your stash of cards to find out that none of them are suitable for a particular occasion?   

If you have ever found yourself struggling to make that last minute card in ultra quick time then this little card is for you.  I promise that you really can make it in 5 minutes flat so it would be great for either a quick card or when you have lots to make e.g. invitations.  

It could easily be converted into a gift tag as well!

The card base here is an A6 card but you could adjust the design to fit any size card or tag.

 I used some of the papers from the 

Lost & Found Heirloom paper pad from My Minds Eye

Roughly draw 3 circles on coordinating papers from the pack with pencil and tear the circles out to create the layers of the flowers {remember to tear inside of the pencil line so that you do not see it on the final flower}

**If anyone would like a mini tutorial on paper tearing then send me an e-mail at teresa@philpotts.com and I will upload a little tutorial on the website for you **

Once you have the three circles they need a little 'ruffing' up at the edges (pinch and bend the edges with your fingers).

Stick into place towards the top of the card and add a button in the center.  You could always add a little Stickles Glitter Glue around the edges of the petal to add a little sparkle.

The sentiment stamp used for the stem and leaves below the flower is called 

Simply You from Technique Tuesday.

Stamp the stem first and then the scroll leaf one at a time.

A little doodling and a few gems and the card is complete ...
