The tub has sunflowers in it that was covered with the punched flowers. I used a variety of flower punches and an oak leaf to make the arrangement. To give the flowers and dimensional look I score each petal with a straight line using the small end of a stylus for dry embossing then use the larger end and just make circles around the center. Do this on a soft surface; I use a paper towel folded to four layers. Each flower and leaf was pressed into the stamp pad to give a more interesting color. Tub is colored with chalks/pastels. A little shading with chalk/pastels and Itty Bittys was done on the edge.
I gave this to a friend as a thank you for a Christmas gift.

I love the dimension of this, and the effect from the punched leaves and flowers. Once again, the shading on the edge is beautiful! I just can't seem to add to an image that way, and like it. I've thrown away more after trying, than I've used! Great card!

This is sooooo cute! What a creative idea! At first I thought you might have cut all those out then I realized it was a punch but this turned out fabulous!!!!!!
