I made the DP using the background stamp from Art of Life, stamping it on GP white with Pretty in Pink. Dogwood petals were made with a balloon punch, 1/8" hole punch, and a mini sun punch (all by Punch Bunch). I sponged the petal edges with Pretty in Pink and used the larger end of an embossing stylus to make the petals "cup". Branch stamp is by Make an Impression, Inc.
On our way to visit our granddaughters for Easter, DH and I stopped at Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Marietta, GA. The owner's husband was giving an impromptu demo making flowers from various punches. I walked out of there with all the punches I needed, the stamp, and some other goodies!
TFL!

OM Goodness this is awesome. The dogwoods are blooming in my backyard, so pretty, just like this card. How creative of you to use your tools to fashion the bloom! Into my faves.
