We made this cute coneflower card at Diva Designs Card Camp this past Saturday. It was our first card camp in this location and it was way too much fun!
Inspired by Cheri's Cards (www.stampinonline.com)

Adhere long row of circles about 3/4" from bottom of embossed card stock. Adhere stem and green leaves to card front over gold card stock as shown. Offset gold foil leaves from green leaves and adhere as shown.

This was a really fun card to make (of course, I'm sure you've seen me say this about ALL of my cards). I hope you try this design!
