Instructions: Click here to see more photos of this project. To prepare flowers, first stamp small sweet peony flowers on foam paper using buttercup archival and cut with coordinating die. Apply same ink on the center of the flowers. Shape the flowers using hot iron. Tie stamens on floral wire and add shaped flowers using designer glue. Create multiple flowers using large and small stamps and dies. To prepare leaves, stamp cheery pansy leaves using olive green archival and cut with coordinating die. Color the leaves using acrylic color (dilute the paint using water). Shape leaves using shaping mold. Cut and glue leaves on floral wire using designer glue.

Cut strips of foam paper which are 3/4" wide and 4" long. Color the strip using leaf green archival and cut thin slits on it. Heat and twist the slits. Glue these strips on floral wire using hot glue. Once all the elements are ready keep them aside. Take floral wires and join them using floral tape and make that 26" long. Fold from one end and make a loop. Arrange flowers and leaves on the wire using floral tape. When finished with all arrangement make a loop on another end. Tie ribbons on both loops.

For the finished look apply soft matte gel on the flowers and add glitter.
