Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdsIOVMXjIQ to learn how to create flowers with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. 

Instructions: Cut out a square with an oval image from the Farmers Market Paper Collection.  Use your preferred size of oval die from the Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small dies to cut out the center of the oval on the paper.  Using the same die, cut another oval from the same paper collection, choosing an image that has green swirls.  This will be your background.

Stamp the Praying for You sentiment from the Soar on Eagle’s Wings stamp set on white cardstock using the Mermaid Lagoon ink.  Use decorative scizzors of your choice to cut around the sentiment to create a small banner.

Stamp the aster flower stamp with black ink on white cardstock.  Cut with the coordinating dies.  Ink the centers of the flowers with the Fossilized Amber ink, the flower petals with the Mermaid Lagoon ink, and the leaves with Cracked Pistachio ink.  Mold and shape the asters and leaves using the tools in the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Layer the largest and second largest aster flowers and glue together with Dries Clear Adhesive.  Place small dots of glue in the center of the flower and cover with Bronze Splendor Glitter.   Layer the next two smaller aster flowers and glue together with Dries Clear Adhesive.  Place a dot of glue in the center of the flower and cover with Bronze Splendor Glitter.   

Ink the edges of your card base with the Mermaid Lagoon ink for a distressed look.  Glue the paper square on the card, raising the center in a slight arch for dimension.  Before the glue completely dries, glue your background oval flat onto the card, as shown.  Glue the sentiment banner in a slight arch across the bottom half of the oval, tucking one side behind the front panel and the other side in front of the panel.  Glue your large flower onto the top left of the oval, then accent the flower with the leaf.  Use the Dries Clear Glue to add Bronze Splendor Glitter around the exposed parts of the oval.

Stamp the small stamp from the Delicate Twining Asters Cling Stamp Set onto the bottom right corner of your envelope using black ink.  Color the buds with Mermaid Lagoon ink, and add color to the leaves using Cracked Pistachio ink.  Glue the small flower on top of the flower of your stamped image.
