Pretty Pretty Flowers...

I have been enjoying this beautiful spring day, and today I felt like making a bright springy card! This card features the adorable stitched "Sweet Pea" felt flowers and pieces from Stampin' Up! They are so easy to use, and they easily add the perfect touch to just about any kind of project! I will be ordering a few more packs of these before the Spring Mini ends, and if you haven't already ordered a package of your own and want to let me know! I used the SU in-color Melon Mambo DSP, and Old Olive card stock that I ran thru my Fiskars paper crimper. The flower was made using the SU Flower Punch that is also in the Spring Mini, and I accented the card with Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon. After I punched the flowers I spritzed them with water, and crumpled them up, then smoothed them back out again and let them dry. I love the distressed look you get by doing that! The center of the flower is an epoxy brad by SU called "Sending Love" another must have! The sentiment is from the hostess set "The More the Merrier". I hope that you are having a great week and don't forget to keep an eye out for my blog candy that I will be posting sometime this week!
