I used the flowers from HCPC 2241 and 2242 both sets  for this layout..I stamped all flowers with Crimson Copper Brilliance and sponged in the color with Versamagic Pixie Dust Dewdrop ink pad. To create the shape of the flower I cut out with blossom 2 nesties and then trimmed out the the small petals between the five main ones.Now cut a slit between two of the petals and overlap the two petals, adhering them together with zip dry adhesive and attach a clip to hold in place till dry. Now you have a 4 petal flower, put glue dots on the bottom of each flower and nest them on top of each other till you have size and look you want . You can leave it at two or build it up with 5 or 6 layers. For the buds I cut out one petal and overlapped the joining ones, creating  a 3- petaled flower. I stamped the HCPC 2254 Leafy Swirls  6 times with Brilliance Ivy and and added color with Versmagic Aloe Vera. Cut out and adhere with glue dots. For the 3 lg main flowers on layout I used 2 of the same size petals on top of each other (offset)  and then put one each of the next sizes smaller. Adhere pearls to flower centers. Cut a 2 3/8 " strip of white CS and punch out with garden trellis punch. Background paper is from DCWV. Add Crystal swirls to finish the layout.
