Baby Blues

We got a diaper genie for a baby shower I am going to this evening.  I made a blue and cream Chrysanthemum flower for the wrapped gift, using my paper petals files.  I stretched the shapes to fit into 8.5" x 11" paper so the flower was as large as I could make it.  Then, I sptrized the center of the flower with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Lemon Meringue.

The circles on the card are cut from Cricut Cartridge New Arrivals at 2" each, with a blue solid circle cut at 1 3/4" for the backing.  The turquoise cardstock is embossed with a paisley pattern and my cuttlebug.  The little blue flowers on the bottom right corner are brads, punched through the paper.

Here is trick to assemble the center of the chrysanthemum flower.  I like to use wet glue for the flowers because it holds well once dry, but waiting for the glue to dry takes a long time.  Not being patient, I use binder clips to hold the pieces together until the glue dries:
