Creative Team Precious Petal Cards

by Peta Burrows

Peta created this beautiful card earlier in the year for a class that was taught in store. She uses the Crafts 4U Precious Petals Die Set to create a simple layered flower that she has coloured with Distress inks. She has added some stamens to the centre and a few drops of transparent Jewel drops on the petals that make it look like there is dew drops on the petals.
