3 flowers

This card is one that I created for my guest designer spot but I wanted something that went with the theme of gardening better. I like this card so I have decided to share it and also enter it into a challenge or over at Made Especially for you: 3 flowers.  I made the flowers with Flower Shoppe and the tree is from Straight From the Nest. I went with Earth tones and finished it off with brown twine.

Hope you're having a sunny day!

  8. Very nice cards Colin. I like that you are giving yourself challenges. I tried that once but I never could stick to it. I was trying to use up all my scraps but I always wanted to use new stuff! Ah well what can you do?

  9. Guess who got Flower Shoppee? Yep, and I tried making a flower and it didn't turn out even half as good as yours do! How do you get the centers to look so darn good?? I love the way you do your flowers! What a pretty card Colin!

  10. This is lovely! Love that tree and your flowers are awesome! I have the Flower Shoppe cart, too and I love it! Great card and good luck in the challenge! :)

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting on my quick, easy cards! To answer your question, yes the gator and octopus (and elephant) were in a chipboard pack by Me and My Big Ideas that I picked up on clearance at Joann's. Makes the cards soo quick when you don't have to cut something with the cricut.

    Hope you have a good day and a great weekend!

  11. Your flowers are just great. I have a similar flower die, and it doesn't work well for me. This is a great card. Thanks for joining us over at ME4Y.
