Card Design Challenge

For the first time I am participating in a card challenge.  This one was organized by Diane A. on the ORSA list.

We were provided with this link http://inoyan.narod.ru/kaleidoskop.swf to print from.  We could play with the patterns before printing. 


I printed a couple of copies of the page (just in case).  Next I cut 2, 3 inch squares and rounded the corners.
I used the instructions for the flowers in this month's Card maker on page 41.  I cut a spiral like this:

I started to coil up the spiral starting from the centre.  This part was very fussy and challenging with a injured hand.  The instructions said to push it onto a foam dot but I wound up using a bigger piece of sticky back foam and cut it down.  I also used a nail to curl the edges.
I used my cuttlebug and spellbinder dies to cut my background and leaves.
I used my ink to colour the edges and assembled the rest of my card.


The final touches!
