Floral Love card

Hello!

I hope you have been having nice weather where you are.  It's a bit humid here, but that's ok with me, as the sun is shining and it just looks so pretty outside.

So about a couple of Wednesdays a month, I have been cropping at a local scrapbook store with a small group of lovely ladies.  The store charges $5 for you to come and use their space and supplies, and you also get free drinks and chocolate.  I try not to bring too much stuff, as it always takes me forever to finish something anyway.  I like to think it's because I'm so detail-oriented.  Others may just call me slow.  LOL

Anyway, here's one of the cards I made:


River Rock was one of my favorite colors the year it was an In Color.  I'm so glad it's back!

I stamped the vines from Vintage Vogue in VersaMark on River Rock, and layered flowers from the set that I stamped and cut out.  I love, love, love this quote from the Occasional Quotes Level 3 hostess set.  Really, I adore all of the sentiments in that set!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

  3. I'm going to borrow that line from you as well; I'm not slow. It's called being detailed oriented. I have to remember that.

    What a nice card. The embossed pattern is very pretty and those flowers just pop off the card between their shape and colors. Nice use of those grommets, too. I never know how to use them.
