This is my card for F4A10 which is to Celebrate flowers for May Day. I love May Day and always used to look for flowers to put on people's doors. Only problem is that there is usually not much blooming around here but daffodils. This year we are three weeks ahead and I could really have fun.
I decided to celebrate A flower. My sweet sister, Melody, aka lacyquilter made this flower for me one day while I watched. I think I blinked and it was done. It's awesome!
First layer is black with 7 Gypsies dp on top. Then I put two layers of grosgrain ribbon on and added the flower with a big brad. Sentiment is computer generated, cut with a coluzzle and edges are inked. Then I added jewels to help with the "wonder of the day". tfl

this is so bright and fun. My mom's bday is may 1st (and so is her twin sister's --imagine that) we always did the may day basket thing and your little story reminded me of how much fun we had doing it as kids. Your sister sure can crochet a flower. I'll have to google some patterns for those, they are perfect for card making.
