This card uses the colors from Color Combo Challenge 180. The sketch comes from a card on page 6 of the new SU catalog.
The flowers were made using the SU scallop circle punch. After you punch out your shape, take your paper snips and cut in between each bump about a half inch in. Don't go too far or your "petals" will fall apart. Cut the flower in half and you have two coneflower petal bases. I snipped one petal off because I liked that shape better. Now, punch Close to Cocoa with your Small Oval and snip off the end, about 1/3 of the way in. That's your "cone." (I have no idea what it's really called.)

What a fantastic idea! I would have never thought of that one! Looks just like the new SU stamp set but cuter (in my opinion) I love it and can't wait to use your new idea! TFS

Aren't you a clever one! Great tip and I will be using this technique. I like having a little "pop" on my cards. The card is attractive and creative; great colors, layout, workmanship.
