Card Showcasing Flowers

Hi friends!  Our weather today is very warm, but the humidity is starting to drop.  I just came home from an arts and craft outdoor show.  There were a lot of jewelry and art work vendors.  I didn't buy anything but enjoyed looking at everything.

Once again, I have pulled out an older line of Melissa Frances paper to use as a background for my card showcasing flowers.  It came together very quickly.


The papers, which were actually scraps, were attached to a white cardstock base.  A lace trim was placed at the seam.  Cheesecloth and a Prima diecut doily were placed under the flowers.  The center flower is Prima and it is surrounded by various Petaloo flowers.  A hemp bow and tag stamped with a PTI sentiment were tucked into the flowers.  Prima rhinestone and pearl swirls were added as a finishing touch.


I love this pretty color palette.  I find it very soothing.  Using up some of my older stash of papers is always a good thing!

Well, that's it for me today.  I hope you are enjoying the weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate the comments you leave.  Have a wonderful week!
