Step by step instructions:

1.Mix white Makin's air dry polymer clay with just a small dot of Makin's red clay. You can add more red if the color is too light , so just add red clay  a bit after bit. Roll the mixed clay with Makin's Clay machine into #3 setting. This is a setting that fits the die cut devices. Use Sizzix die to die cut your flowers and let them  air dry just a bit.

2.Use permanent black ink and small script stamp from Rubber Dance stamp company and stamp over the almost dry die cut clay flowers.

 

3. Use embossing folder and dry emboss your dry stamped clay flowers.

4. Arrange your flowers over the blank note-book in your desired flower cluster. Add flower centers and a few shiny leaves.Glue them to the notebook with good adhesive and enjoy!
