Gardenia Punch Art

Here's another card my Punch Class did this month.  I originally made one of the Gardenia Flowers when the Ornament Punch first came out!  I made it in Pretty in Pink with some Regal Rose sponging.  I decided I wanted to make a soft white and yellow card, so pulled out my Whisper White Cardstock to make the flower!

 

 

I punched 5 of the Ornament Punch from Whisper White cardstock and sponged the center and edges of the punches.  I folded them in half for some texture.  I adhered them all together, then added a 3/4 Certainly Celery Circle punch in the center.  I added some adhesive and Clear Micro Beads to the center (hurry…these are on the retired list!  I love using them for centers of flowers.)  I also punched two Certainly Celery Ornament Punch leaves, folded them in half, and added Certainly Celery Classic Ink to the edges.

 

In the background, I used the Scallop Square with Whisper White cardstock and trimmed off two of the scallops on the left side.  I ran it thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Impressions Folder.  I wrapped So Saffron Striped Ribbon around and tied.  I adhered it the the Barely Banana base card.  I added a Barely Banana "hello" greeing from Tiny Tags and punched with the Medium Jewelry Tag punch.  It is attached to the ribbon with Linen Thread.

 

Finally, I added two Xs from Itty Bitty Punches and Certainly Celery cardstock.  I love how this Gardenia Flower turned out!  I think my classes loved it, too!
