Steph sent us to a fabulous site for inspiration to-day it was so hard to pick just one but finally I saw this http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/889894 and it all came together. I found these thank you notes in the clearance pile at Mike's for .50 cents...bought several ..couldn't help myself! (they had shinny gold writing on them) LOL The cup and saucer is from Cottage Cutz and shaded with a little going gray. The flowers are the smallest ones from Martha Stewart's hydrangea punch. The leaves were also punched in green and cut in four. (just a tad fiddly) I added a partial doily, some pink masked around the edges and a dot of stardust pen for centres.

You find the BEST things at Mike's!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CARD. Your teacup with flowers just makes me SIGH...it is so romantic and sweet. At first I was trying to figure out how you did the gold border and sentiment... then I read your details...duh! Your shading ROCKS! Showed your card to hubby and that was the first thing he commented on! Probably because that is an area I am sadly lacking in! Your flowers are soft and lovely and this card is a favorite for sure
