What to do with things I have too much of....

In the spirit of using more of my stash before buying things to add to it I had wondered what to do with the bags of Card Candy I had bought from Craftwork cards...all very pretty but I didnt think I would ever get through them. Then in a local craft shop I saw a lady making little flowers using the candy as petals. The finished results are cute.

You begin with punching out a circle, blobbing glue in the middle and arranging three circles much like this:

Next you keep gluing in more circles around the central three to create petals, much like this:

 

When you are finished you can add into the centre any little gems or pearls you like...
They look quite cute grouped together with other embellishments :)
