Did this used to be "flower pounding"? I loved doing that, but using the embossing folder got me cooked spinach the first time, and I finally decided I didn't like green flowers anyway. So...for this card I pulled off the petals and ran them through the Cuttlebug. (The petals are from the wild sunflowers that grow by our barn.)It was a big improvement, but I wanted the image to show up more, so I traced around the petals with a black fine tip marker. It worked. Then I added the stems and Victorine Originals blooms. Not too bad. I think it looks like my neighbor's yucca plant. Thanks for looking.

Yes, I think it's pretty much flower pounding adapted to the age of the Big Shot, or whatever...And I love that you have taken petals and turned then into beautiful leaves, how clever!! And how very pretty.

The black outline brings the focus to those petals. I really wouldn't show up as well without the outline! Good thinking! The added red flowers stamps really make a great bloom for your yucca! lol
