KISS SUNDAY, Easy Blossom Punch Flowers...

Today I have a card from a beginner stamping technique class with a KISS (keep it simple stamper) layout.  The focal piece was a flower made with both the Faux Suede technique and my Flower Mum technique.  I love the Blossom Punch for this technique.  It gives a very different look than the Fancy Flower Punch.  This time I used less layers (four) as I had a Japanese exchange student in my class and we agreed to keep the cards flatter, so she would have an easy time packing them for transport back to Japan.  I actually really love the flatter look and it certainly makes for easier mailing.  I would probably still like another layer or two though!  :o)
