Flower Power

'Flower Power'
 
 
I made a number of these a little while ago and merely added peel off sentiments as needed. I cut the top piece of the card stock slightly shorter than the bottom and added the gingham paper to the bottom piece so that it would show. On this one the four dots of liquid pearls are to cover 4 pricked holes which I made by mistake!
 
Supplies:
Cardstock: 160gsm in white
Paper: Activity village free download
Gold peel off
Liquid pearls in gold
