May flowers (CYCI#70)


I've been so inspired with this week's challenge over on CanYouCaseIt? that I just HAD to make another floral card! I kept thinking of how I used to design arrangements in my flower shop years ago and the first thing that came to mind was ferns. Back then we started with a base of leather leaf fern. How wonderful that SU has the Butterfly Basics stamp set which includes this lovely fern image. I used a lot of emboss resist on the background and then what else did I use but FLOWERS!!! Flower Shop and Petite Petals with their coordinating punches made this so easy!

Designed especially with canyoucaseit #70 in mind!

Wow so pretty I saw SU Shelly Gardner do a demo with the proto type with Dawn with this same technique and I love your version as well I love the color choices and flowers you added I may have to follow suit and give it a try myself. LOVE IT

I don't know when I've seen a prettier homemade card.
