Dimensional Blooms

Hello crafters, 

This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Ellie is "Blooms/Birds/Butterflies". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.
Blooms are favourite for any occasion so I decided to have another go at creating realistic-looking pom pom dahlias:

I used Spellbinders Pom Pom Dahlia and Ladybugs Etched Dies s4-1317 to create the focal cluster and the Everyday Sentiments from the STAMPLorations set.

The whole is matted on an embossed panel with the Sizzix/Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder (665734) and a green cardstock mat.

I think I need more layers in my pom pom (The darkest flower has 3 layers of each size of flower, 15 layers in total) to get the fully rounded effect, but I have to say it takes a lot of time to form each petal with stylus and tweezers!
