Hello! Well, I did not dig this out of the trash because (over a year ago) in one of Dina's Color Burst classes (@ the Great Yosemite Stamp Escape) I saved these paper towels used to keep our surface clean, instead of throwing them away. They were just too pretty to throw away...yes, I'm a hoarder! Anyway, I die cut flowers from them today. Multiple layers of Pretty Posies (ODBD). They remind me of a Hawaiian lei. I glued them together and then misted them and squooshed them.
I really like this trash to treasure and might always keep my stained up paper towels!! LOL!
Since I have card kits to make all day today I don't have time to really do another card (I DO have weather related stamps) so this flower card will have to do for the F4A too!
Thanks for looking!

Wow!! I love this! I didn't have time to do yesterday's challenge, but now you have inspired me. I save my paper towels too! I have a whole stack of 'em!! ;) I never thought of cutting them into flowers, but that is such a great idea! Your card is absolutely beautiful! Love the flowers and all the layers. It makes me think of a Hawaiian Lei too!

Robin, just gorgeous! I'm with you on keeping the paper from my spray box, but I usually keep using it till it's far darker and less light and pretty than your beautiful flowers!
