Today you'll be seeing the new Clearly Sentimental about Success set, the WTG-Fiesta. I'll first show you my fun, round card for the Who's That Girl Fiesta.  There are lots of great sentiments and extra images included in the set that make it very versatile. I used the beautiful Dizzy Doily die-namic for my base, dressing it up with some Delovely papers by Cosmo Cricket.

I then stamped the margarita glass, bottle, and lime  onto x-press blending cs, colored them with copics and cut each image out. I was then able to place them exactly where I wanted to on my sentiment flag. I added some Glitzy Glitter to the edge of the glass. It's all tied up with my fave Twine in Honeydew. Here's a close up.

Hang with me here. My next card shows a pretty Posey Rose I made with the new Pretty Posies die-namic

and I have a quick little photo tutorial on how I made it.  This technique you can do with almost any flower that has 5 petals, I have made these before with another die, so when I got this new die-namic, I had to give it a go. It's another way to get more bang for you buck! Here's the card.

 I also used the new Open Scallop Doily die-namic.  You'll also see the pretty Framed Greetings die-namic and some felt leaves cut with the Upsy Daisy Flower builder die-namic. Hot fudge and fossil card stock set the stage for the pretty papers by Crate Paper-Portrait Collection.

Okay....so here's how to do the flowers:

1.  Die cut 1 of each of the 3 sizes of flowers.....love that I can do this in 1 pass of my big shot. 

2. Cut a slit in the largest one, Remove 1 petal from the second largest flower, and then 2 petals from the smallest flower. Save each piece.

3. Sponge edges of all the petals, even the cut pieces, with sponge dauber and ink. Then round each edge, carefully with a bone folder.

4. One flower at a time, add adhesive to one of the petals and overlap that petal with the one next to it. You will be creating a cone shape with each flower, reducing the number of petals by 1. For example, Here I have the 5 petal flower, and once I overlap two of the petals, I will end up with a 4 petal, cone shaped flower. Here is what your final glued flowers will look like. That little skinny petal is the single, cut petal, rolled up.

5. Next, cut a small slit (start small, you can always make it bigger by cutting again) in each of the 3 flowers, you don't need to cut the single rolled petal (this is the very center of your finished flower). 

6. Then, starting with the largest flower, tuck the next size flower into it's center, down into the slit. Use a little adhesive to attach it. Continue with the next smaller flower, and finishing with the single petal. Add a little adhesive to each layer. Here's what the final flower will look like. After you have it assembled, you may need to re-work some of the petals, so they are nice and rounded.

And the finished Posey Rose

 on my card...close up!

Thanks for sticking with me. Hope you'll try these easy (really, they are easy) Posey Roses. It's another great way to use that new Pretty Posies die-namic die.
