Another month is flying by!  Depending on where you are, you may be in the snow storm of the century. :-O   I hope you have power and internet and something yummy to eat!  Crazy!  I think you should just go create something!  For today’s Dazzling Diva Challenge, I decided to go Clean and Simple – for a change.  LOL  The challenge was to create a 3D flower from Craft Metal.  Pretty simple.  Give it a whirl! (Details Below)

• White Card Stock 4-1/4″ x 11″ – Scored and folded at 5-1/2″.
• White Card Stock 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ run through the Big Shot in SU’s Lovely Hearts Embossing Folder.
• Wrap a piece of 1/8″ Silver Ribbon around the bottom of the post card and secure behind using Glue Dots.
• Use Foam Tape or Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the post card to the base card.
• Use “xoxo” from the Circle Card Thinlits Die Set to cut a piece of AALD Scarlet Red Craft Metal.  (Tip:  Put a piece of wax paper between the die and the metal before passing it through the Big Shot.  This will make removal a cinch!)

• Use SU’s Blossom Punch to punch out two flowers from AALD Scarlet Red Craft Metal.
• Use SU’s Pansy Punch to punch out two flowers from AALD Scarlet Red Craft Metal.
• Emboss all of the flowers using a Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
• Roll the edges of the flowers on a stick – or something of equal thickness – and shape so that the petals pop up.
• Use Glue Dots to assemble one flower on top of the other , offsetting the petals.
• Glue one of TH’s Idea-Ology Gumballs to the center of the flower and adhere to the card front using Glue Dots.
• Use Liquid Glue to attach the Metal “xoxo” to the front of the card.
