I’ve been putzing with the card all this past week in between other projects. Here are some of the supplies I used…(some I remembered to add to the photo, but most not)
Mulberry paper mini flowers by Recollections. Large pink center flower is an SVG designed by Cindy Pointe that I cut and hand shaped. Leaf punch by Martha Stewart. Corner punch by EK Success. Apple Green Micro beads by Art Accentz, 1/4″ size Scor-Tape; a Paper Crimper by Fiskers; 1/2 pearls by Recollections, Spellbinders Shapeabilitie Pendant (lotus) and circle Nestability. Lots of supplies, just One stamp by Hero Arts.

I was really just playing with the corner punch when I made this card. I created a punched border and then with individual punches created circle border around the circle die cut. Each punch was cut out and framed around the circle.

I used two ready made purchased flowers and one had made flower that was cut using my Cricut, Make the Cut (cutting program) and an SVG (scalable vector graphic) designed by Cindy Pointe. I actually made this sometime ago. I had cut an entire sheet of flowers, then made them up and set them aside for future use. I think I still have two left.

I used fun foam to layer between the lotus cuts and again under the circle medallion that I had made to give it depth. You can see (as usual) that the glue is still wet. Never fear; it dries clear lol!

I used a blending tool and antique linen distress ink to shade the lotus pieces and also the circle die cut.
