Contemporary dogwood flower card

Hi everyone!  I have another fun flower card to share.  I've been into purple lately, so when designing this I reached for the fabulous Deep Lilac cardstock to pair with the awesome Contemporary Circles die set!
The flower on this card is from the Create-a-Flower series of dies (which has 24 flowers in it now!) and is the Dogwood.  I love it and it is super easy to make.  You only have to die cut the pieces once (other flowers require multiple pieces).  Here is a picture.
I lightly sponged some Bubblegum Pink ink onto each petal and bent them slightly over my thumb.  I then glued the petals to the petal base.  I overlapped them at the center to get my petals close enough to touch at the sides.  The stamens are also super easy, just a tiny curve with my embossing tool and done. 
Here is the Contemporary Circles, isn't it the coolest?  It also comes in a Square and Diamonds!!
 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here is a close up picture.  You can see I added a sequin and pearl to the center.

  5. Love your card. I just bought that circle die and your card was a perfect inspiration on what I should make with it. I also have the square shape as I think they are cool dies. Thanks again for the inspiration!
