Instructions: The purple patterned paper is the background. Cut the plain vellum to 11 x 11" and adhere to background. Cut the white cardstock to 10 x 10" and adhere to the layout using white photo corners. Mat the 4 x 6" photo in 2 layers of white cardstock. Adhere the layers together and add the photo using white photo corners. Set aside for now. Cut strips of patterned paper in different widths and lengths, between 9 and 5 inches long, and 0.5 to 1.75 inches wide. This is a great layout to create using leftover strips of patterned papers. Layer and adhere these different strips across the middle of the layout. Adhere the matted photo in the middle of the layout using 3D foam squares.
Stamp and die cut 2 sets of the swirly Leafy Accents image onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using green ink (Seaweed). Stamp and die cut a set of the small Buttons & Blooms images using dark blue (Midnight Blue) and dark pink (Berrylicious) ink. Stamp and die cut a set of the medium Buttons & Blooms onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper in yellow (Dandelion) and teal (Ocean Teal) ink. Stamp and die cut the button images using the same colors as the blooms. Add color to the flowers, buttons and leaves using the same color ink as they were all stamped using ink and daubers. Add liquid adhesive on top of the buttons and let dry.
Shape the flowers using the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold. Shape the leaves using the 3D Leafy Accents Shaping Mold. Assemble the flowers and add a button to the middle of each. Adhere a large flower to the right and left of the matted photo and add pieces of the leafy accents around them. Add the small flowers next to the larger ones and add smaller leaves around them also. Add the sticker titles to the top and bottom of the layout.
