I started with an 8 in styrofoam ball and sliced off some at the top and bottom to give it the shape of a pumpkin. I then covered the ball with strips of burlap - both to cover the styrofoam from peeking out among the flowers and to give me a better surface to glue the flowers to.
I then used the CTMH Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy to cut the different types of flowers. I cut them at 4 and 4 1/2 inches. Once I rolled all my flowers (let me just say that the CTMH Quilling Tool REALLY helps) I started from the bottom and glued the flowers on using Quick Dry Tacky Glue. To top it off I simply rolled some Olive cardstock and glued 'the stem' to the top. Add some leaves and vines, cut using the CTMH Artbooking cartridge. And TADA! I think when I put it out next year I am going to add some glitter highlights....because I am after all the Glitter Queen!
