I made the flower paper using smashed flower technique. I used chickory flowers. Then I tea dyed it to give it a vintage look. I stamped the chickory flower from ODB Don't Worry. I loved the embellishments and pleated ribbon. I used MOJO 298. The butterfly is from Mark's Finest Papers set called CRACKED HELLO.

Beautiful! I'm so glad to see that you used smashed chicory to make the flower panel. The flowers work up beautifully with the smashed technique! A beautiful card, with beautiful colors!

This card is so pretty!! I love how you did the pearls and the ribbon. I also like the pretty lace below it. I recently bought that ODB set, but am embarrassed to say that I'm not sure where it is. My desk is a huge mess right now.
