Congrats to Maureen! What a wonderful gallery! After much browsing, I chose her Blooming with Kindness to case. I loved the layout so I kept that but I used different images, different colors and made my own background instead of using designer paper.
I used two colors of grey card stock for the backing panels and stamped the Weave Background on both using the teal ink. The dahlia was stamped w/ the gray ink and the sentiment with the teal ink. The two little pennants were die cut and I trimmed the length to fit and added a contrasting color button. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Congrats again, Maureen! Enjoy your week! Thanks so much for looking. My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.
