In the set these words are together. I masked off the words with masking tape to stamp only one word at a time on the circle centers. I used glass circles on top. I love the look.
For the flowers, I used the Stampin Up scallop punch. Cut from edge to center (adhering the 3/4" circle first). I sponged each petal by pulling up its neighbors as I did each one. This also helps form the flowers shape. My inspiration for these sweet, cut flowers came from the last Stampin Up workshop I attended. Thanks Judy.
Also I sanded all the edges with a nail file before sponging and stitching.
