Sweet Swirl Buds & Blossoms

I wanted to make a card for the Sketch Challenge SC130 on SCS. I started by stamping the white background randomly with the square and rectangle stamp from SU "Sweet Shapes" stamp set. Then I stamped the swirl from the same set in the upper left and lower right corners with Mellow Moss, reversing it so the swirls were going opposite each other. Then I chose a Swirl Stamp from the Autumn Leaves "Swirls" stamp set and stamped it in Mellow moss on the Old Olive cardstock. I used 2 pieces of designer cardstock paper from the marcella by K "Bungalow" Mat pack one which I trimmed the flowers from and then cut a mat. Then a slider with my Cuttlebug. I also trimmed a mat of the Peach dotted on a matching green. If I did it a gain I would mat the dotted ca closer to the white image and the peach after, creating a peach line between the greens. Live and learn I guess. I then used the Buds & Blossoms stamp set to stamp the three sizes of flowers I used. I had to clean the stamp well between stampings. I stamped the smallest flower in Blush Blossom and then rock & rolled the edges slightly in Pumpkin Pie, then Lightly stamped the image on the Pumpkin Pie ink pad and stamped. This gives a nice two tone flower. With the Medium Flower I repeated the process for the smaller one except I rocked and rolled it on Old Olive after lightly over stamping on the Pumpkin Pie. The largest flower I stamped on the Pumpkin Pie and then rocked and rolled on Old Olive. When I was through stamping I trimmed all the flowers. I moved them around until I liked the placement. The small ones were attched first using small glue dots, the Medium followed and they were mounted on 1/16" dimensionals, the large flower was mounted on a 1/8th" dimensional. The Slider was stamped with Mr & Mrs from the SU:"Taggers Dozen" stamp set in Pumpkin Pie. It was then attached to the dotted orange ribbon(Wal-mart). The bow was tied and trimmed before it was secured in place using glue dots.
