Blooming With Happiness

Hi everyone! I wanted to share something my sweet talented Mom made me. She crocheted me a bag full of beautiful flowers for my cards. She even matched some of the flower colors to my PaperTrey Ink cardstock. I LOVE them! Since I have such a stash of them, I thought I might share a little kit with some flowers, pearls, and matching PTI cardstock with one of my bloggie friends. Just leave a comment on this post with a way to reach you and I will randomly pick a winner this Friday.

Here are cards I made using the flowers...
I really like how this card turned out. I used the Sweet Sentiments #2 set
by My Craft Spot for my sentiment. I love this stamp set! The paper
is by Basicgrey--urban prairie. I used a border punch for a little
detail and *pop* of color behind the white strip. The paper flower
is cut with the Walk In My Garden cartridge. The pretty little crotched
flower is from my Mom. :) Since the background paper is busy, one flower
was all this card needed. I finished off the card with some sewing
machine stitching.

Cuts:
  • Walk In My Garden cartridge pg.87
  • 2 1/4"  blackout blossm
  • Standard A2 sized card-paper from PTI
I hope you've all had a chance to enter this weeks challenge over on the My Craft Spot blog, you can find it here. Be sure to leave a comment on this post for the goodies I'm giving away this Friday. Make it a great day. :)
