friendly flowers

Today I’ve another card for the Paper Smooches challenges.  This set is called Friendly Flowers.  Seriously cute blooms!

I think this is my favorite flower from the set (if I have to choose only 1!)  I curved the stem a bit to follow the shape of the circle…a bonus you can do with clear stamps!  And I masked the “o” in hello so the leaf could peek through from behind.  The sentiment is from the flower set too.

I started with another DCWV textured card base.  I’m really starting to ♥ these!  I don’t know why they sat in my drawer for so long!  This time I cut off the right side of the card to make it square.  I didn’t throw away the extra piece though.  The back of the card base is that lovely salmon color so I added that strip to the front.  Perfect way to get a matching layer!  The dotted pattern that was cut from the front I then glued to the inside…you can see a portion of it here…

I love this sketch…so simple and sweet!  It’s from the Designer Drafts #5 (the middle sketch on the right side).

Stay cool…it’s gonna be a scorcher today!
