Thank You Flower Shaped Card

Created this Thank You Flower Shaped card using Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. Not made a Flower shaped card before using this cartridge. Wanted it to resemble my Hibiscus flower that you can see a photo of below.

Stamped  the sentiment "thank you" on yellow base using Zing Gold embossing powder. Added red stickles to inside "thank you" sentiment to resemble the red of the inside of a Hibiscus. Cut 2 layers: one red & top one yellow. Embossed the top yellow layer with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder.  Used VersaMark and Stamp N Plus Buzz N Magic Gold Nugget chalk on center edges of top yellow layer.






















































My Hibiscus flower that I have in a pot inside the house. I bring the 3 Hisbiscus I have inside during the Winter. I alternate giving them Miracle Grow & water. They have bloomed couple times this Winter.
