Arg! I could not make a pretty scrunchie paper flower for the life of me! Maybe it was the paper I was using, but all of them ended up bleh! So I finally resorted to using Fifth Ave Floral and making a 3D flower out of it--I forgot how much I love this stamp! I cut about 6 layers, curled the edges, and adhered with glue dots. The SU button is threaded with grey cardstock.
All the patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket Ever After pack, with the edges inked using PTI's vintage tea duo. I printed the sentiment using a mix of Albemarle & Albemarle Swash fonts, and cut out with nestie label one. I also used a scallop rectangle nestie to cut the border for the bottom of the long strip.
Fingers crossed..could this be the month I win the Mojo Monday contest?!?!

Wow, what a stunning 3-D rose. Your card really popped out at me while I was uploading my rose card. Funny, I tried cutting out my rose, but was not quite working. I am going to have to try again. BTW, I made a scrunched flower using the lg.fancy flower SU punch and mulberry paper because DP was not working. Both cards are in my gallery. TFS your gorgeous card. I hope you win :-)

Love your flower and I saw it on the Mojo slide show, so you weren't in the winners of stamp sets but you made the top pics. I think it was the best of the winners, if that makes you feel any better.
