I wanted a tall floral arrangement for my Lily's upcoming art party.  I also want to get as many things done ahead of time as possible.  Live flowers would be stunning, but I couldn't get this image from BirthdayGirl out of my mind... 

It's so pretty and sweet.  The colors are all wrong for the art party, but I love the design. 

So I decided to make one of my own.

I pulled out my cricut and got to cutting.  I couldn't decide which flower to use, so I used all different ones.  Sticking on rhinestones and silver ink to finish them off.  

For the stem, I stuck a kabob stick on the back with tape and covered it up with a punch out circle .

Lily was feeling grumpy and didn't want to help me.  When she saw how they turned out she changed her mind.  I put her on rhinestone duty.
