Hugging Clematis

Instructions:
The finished card measure 6 x 6 inches. Cut one piece of white cardstock in deluxe flower shaping paper 12 by 12 inches and score at 6 inches to make a side fold card. Cut a 6 x 6 green paper with the Simple Centerpiece die and glue it on your card base.
Use the biggest part of the Elegant Hearts Centerpiece die and cut it 5 times in white. Overlap to create a three-dimensional outline. Glue on the base. For the center cut 3 pieces with the Simple Centerpieces: 3 inch octagon in violet, 2 1/2 inch octagon in pattern paper and 2 inch octagon in green paper (Stamp a sentiment and ink the edge of this one with deep purple ink). Glue it on each other in the middle of your card with 3D foam.
Make 6 Climbing Clematis Flowers of different sizes. Stamp with Deep purple ink onto Deluxe flower shaping paper, color the center with the same color ink and shade the edge with the same color sea grass ink. (You can also color the back of the flowers). Diecut with the coordinating die. Place face down into the flower shaping mold, spritz with water and run through the diecutting machine to shape. When dry, give further shape with Deluxe flower shaping kit tools. Glue 2 layers together. Poke a hole in the center of the flower and add stamens. Put a little bit of glue on the tips of you petal and dip them in the crystal clear powder to make them shine. Also make 7 leaves in leaf green with the same technique.
Put cheesecloth and sewing thread on each side of your sentiment. Glue 3 flowers and leaves on each side.
