For today's challenge I decided to make another Hibiscus but with pleated leaves. I used my scallop punch to punch 2 green scalloped circles. I pleated those circles using the edges of the scallops as guidelines.
My 2 hibiscus differ from Valita's because I don't have a sun punch. What I did use was two different snowflake punches. On the one on the box I used 2 snowflakes (EK SUCCESS#. On the one on my card I used 2 snowflakes #SU#. To get the variation of color on my flowers I used marker-watercoloring technique.
With all these flowers there had to be a butterfly flying around. I used another porcelain paper butterfly on this card.
I have a close up view of the card as well as other views of the box on my blog. (Warning: I have music on my blog)
