I love the detailed image of these Morning Glories! We were challenged to use Words Of Encouragement or a Get Well theme along with buttons. I got a little carried away in coloring and almost forgot the buttons...oops!

  I inked up the Morning Glory stamp several times.Taking the circle dies, I moved them around on the flowers until I chose my image. Next I took the two die cuts and placed them in position on the card. I matched up the same stamped flowers and fussy cut them.

 

  The petals and leaves were curved with a ball stylus. I cut some of the petals almost to the center of the flower. I lifted each petal and used Collall to help pop them up and keep their shape and dimension.  

 The Never Give Up stamp was used inside.
 We all need words of encouragement! 

Looking forward to seeing your designs!
