Mother's day Bouquet

My first attempt at making flowers. I decided to make a set for my Mom. I had seen similar ideas are several sites and figured I would give it a go. The stems are green pencils. The glass base is filled with clear tinted jewels. All of the supplies came from the dollar tree. The pink ribbon was scrap ribbon I had left from a previous project.

To make the flowers I punched 3 large and 2 small flowers for each one. The middle is a from a very small punch. The cardstock is from Michaels. I inked the edges with Bic markers in a shade darker than the card stock. The shapes are then glued together in a staggered pattern with quick dry glue. I then glimmer misted the petals in a gold shade. The label I embossed in a gold color on some tags I had recieved in a trade on Listia.
