As you know, I usually don’t make or blog about cards, but there were several challenges I wanted to jump in this week. Mojo Monday provided the sketch, Heart2Heart gave us the “April showers bring May flowers” theme, and the Play Date Cafe chose the colors. Coincidentally enough, Close to My Heart makes a paper pack with lots of flowers based on the blues and greens- moonstruck, sky blue, and topiary. So this card was actually pretty easy to put together, not a lot of thought required. I did have to squirm just a little when I decided my handwriting is (still) crap, and I had to cover it with the bracket thingy at the top. Is there a name for the shape that looks like a rectangle, but each side is a bracket?
Two nights ago, a CTMH sister and flower guru, Michele Auten, taught us how to make these 3-D flowers at our team get-together. Of course, now I have to put them on everything. The fleece flower pillows had a good run, we’re set for a couple birthday parties, and now I’m back to paper flowers. I just might have to tackle the flower box on Michele’s blog.
Thank God for spring! (And that fact that I’m not prone to allergies.)
