Punched Flowers in Lighted Shadow Box

I purchased the shadow box in a local dollar store.  The wood frame is unfinished, and I have chosen to leave it that way

Inside I created a scene incorporating a punched tree, punched flowers and a fussy cut bird.  The background is Balmy Blue card stock embossed with the Brick embossing folder with glitter embossing paste randomly added over the embossed surface.  Around of the inside edge I added a string of battery operated mini lights.





After the tree  (Sweet Silhouette dies) was added to the left side, a fussy cut bird (Bird Ballad DSP)  and 3 flowers were added.  The word "inspire" (Sweet Silhouette dies) almost looks like it is flying in the sky attached to the back of an airplane.

Each flower is made using the following:   Daisy punch Large 3 and /or Medium Daisy punch 3;
1 3/8" scallop circle punch 2 and a 7/8" circle punch for the center.  The leaves are made using the Petal punch and the Leaf punch.

The petals are shaped using a bone folder; the scallops circle punchies are snipped at an angle all the way around.

All layers are adhered together to form the flower, after which an Old Olive Petals and Leaves  are added.
