What a cool technique today. I probably went the long way around to achieve what I did here. Plus, I just couldn't stop myself. So my card is a little over crowded with stuff I don't normally do........what I did do.......
Dug through my boxes of fabric, which are plenty. I used to do a lot of applique sewing. Took my choices, cut out some squares, ironed on freezer paper then used my antique QuicKutz to cut the shapes.
Freezer paper didn't stay on, so I sprayed cs with adhesive, then put my cut outs on it, let dry and cut out.
Put all my flowers together popping up parts. Stamped twice the pot clear eb one. Popped up the top part only. Also glued in some moss?
Took a white cs panel and stamped my gingham stamp. Hey Kelly, look I have gingham too! Aren't you proud of me!?!
Laid out my scene, drew the stems and leaves and colored with a green sharpie.
Put everything together on a white card that I doodled the edges. Added the lace looking thing because when I was looking for the moss, it fell out of the box and I thought.....what the heck, never use this stuff.
Also made a bow with the bow easy. BUT I forgot how to do it so I had to re-read the instructions. I have such a short memory sometimes it's just plain scary!
Well, that is pretty much it. Hope I am able to post this, cuz for some reason SCS hasn't been working right for me all weekend!.......TFL :0)

Look at all those great flowers!!!!! Fabulous job! Your lace and the moss just set it all off!! I busted out laughing when I read that you had to reread the directions for the bow easy. I have one similar and have made tons of bows but for some reason those directions just don't stay in my head, always looking at them again!!!! Couldn't be age could it??????

Running out of time before I have to run off to work. But I was afraid if I didn't comment now I might forget - busy day with tea-parties and dinner guests and so on...It was the lace I spotted first, love it. But there are so many cute little details - this is a real prize-winner at the garden show.

I don't even own sicccors to cut fabric, never mind fabric!! I did enjoy Peggy's card earler today - who just ripped of her jammies and cut them apart to manage the TLC!
