Bridal Bouquet

My card today is for the current Colour Create Challenge. The inspiration photo is just gorgeous. I would love a photo like this in my wedding album!

Here are the DEEtails:

I loved the idea of a bridal bouquet, so I pulled out my Itty Bitty Punches again. I started off by creating a base for my bouquet, using my Scallop Circle punch. I punched 3 scallop circles in Old Olive and overlapped them to make a sort of bouquet shape. I crumpled the shape a bit to help add more dimension as I adhered my flowers on. Then I punched my Itty Bitty flowers - 50 blooms - with Naturals White card stock. I crumpled each flower and adhered them to my base with glue dots. After my flowers were adhered to the base, I trimmed the excess off the edges. I made my stems by cutting 1/4" strips of Old Olive card stock. I folded each in half, lengthwise, then wrapped them with Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon. Because my stems have a right side (the folded edge) and a wrong side (the raw edge), I had to be careful about the placement of my stems as I wrapped them. To help with the process, I adhered my stems in place to a rectangular piece of card stock which gets hidden under my ribbon. Then I adhered my stems and bloom to a Sahara Sand card base and Baja Breeze mat.
