Waltzingmouse Stamps Flower Show


Waltzingmouse is having a flower show! It started last Friday on the 19th...Claire had an amazing group of extremely talented ladies make cards using any of the WM flower sets, and wow...these cards are just beautiful.  The challenge is to find a card from one of their blogs that you like and CASE it, not too hard, right?  Thank goodness my sweet friend Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea got me hooked on flowers or I would not have had any to play with...I have to admit I resisted flowers for a long time and now I am having more fun playing with them. 
I went through their blogs a few times before I decided on which card to make. I chose one that Meredith from A Delightful Waste of Time made and made just a few very minor changes based on the supplies I had on hand.  I even learned a new technique while making my card and that is always a nice bonus to have. I loved how sweet and soft the colors of Meredith's card are and tried to get close to that same look.

  12. Kim, I LOVE this!! I love the doily stamps you used - they worked out great! I really have to pull out that Rescue Remedies set - I've still never inked it up! *gasp*

    I am so flattered that you were inspired by my card, but more than that, you did such an amazing job with your own - I think your background might be prettier than mine!!
