Not sure why I haven't done one of these before, it's a fun project. I've seen a few directions for this, but did my own size in the end as all were quite small I found. I added a stand on back so it would stand up. I used Basic Grey 'Bittersweet' paper. Flowers are done usng die cut set from Heartfelt Creations. Layers held together with a center brad. Hearts were cut out with a punch (with no name) and run through cuttlebug. Name is done on computer. Two butterflies are Martha Stewart punches. Hearts are attatched to back only, by the sticks of three heart suckers, so they can be removed to just leave flowers behind! and suckers can then be eaten. A Valentine card with an added 'treat'. This was a request for a client where I work, to give his 12 yr old Granddaughter for Valentine's Day. Hope she likes it. I know it's a couple of days away, but hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day! TFL. : )

Oh Ms. Jakester, is this not the sweetest flower pot ever? I love how you've placed Alexa's name at the top. I've never attempted to make a card like this ... it simply cant be done in my studio. But, ah ha, you've made the best of the best right here. I love this.
