I have this habit of punching assorted little bits of left-over cardstock and dropping them into tiny boxes for later uses. I loved these pale blue and lavender colors together, so I used a MS hydrangea punch to make all the flowers (after embossing them with a Swiss Dots ef) and decided to use them together. I lightly drew a heart outline with a pencil, then after pressing the flower centers with a stylus to shape them, I glued them on one by one until the heart was filled with flowers. The word "Love" was done with my Quickutz and I added some piercing around the edges. This may be the most tedious snippet card I ever made, but I can't duplicate it, because I gave this hydrangea punch away recently to some young aspiring crafters who will probably enjoy it as much as I did :)

You made a gorgeous card with your little punched flowers. I just hope the new owner of this punch sees the same beauty in it that you did. Enjoy the evening.
Lovely technique on the heart Really nice card Lis
Those colors are beautiful together and even better to make a realistic colored hydrangea. Thanks for saying how you made the heart shape. It is really such a nice card!
WOW! Just love this card. Fabulous design, gorgeous colours and a real labour of love sticking on all those tiny flowers! xx
Wow Carol, I just love those tiny flowers and such pretty colours too. You must have great patience to stick so many individually. A really beautiful card.

This is very lovely! You have lots of patience to do all you did with this card-embossed the pieces, punched them, cupped them, and then placed them hither and yon in a heart shape. It's a card worthy of all that work.
This is beautiful Carol. I love the colour of those little flowers. Barbxx
