I started with GP white cs as the base. I adhered the same size DCWV lime textured adhesive dp onto the white cs. I drew somewhat of a half circle, that's why it's sort of funny looking and cut out. I stamped the stems with a versa mark ink pad, used clear embossing powder so it would be the same color as the lime green dp, then used a heat gun to set. I then used a white glaze pen over the embossed stems. I used the MS leaf punch on DCWV white adhesive textured dp. I added peach prima flowers, used the CB small flower die cut on black cs. I also a mini red brad for the centers. The flowers are attached with 3D dots. I also used the MM corner rounder for the bottom 2 corners.
I hope this looks ok. Thanks for the challenge.

Connie, great job on the inspiration piece. Looks like lots of work went into it.I didn't have a lot of time to spend on mine this time, but it's all in the fun of making them anyway, isn't it?
