I have two projects to post today for the Roses' Challenge. The Roses is a small group of us who met at stampTV and began chatting frequently. We've been doing a monthly challenge the past few months and Connie was the hostess for May. She wanted to see cards with flowers! Since her birthday is in May, I made this card with the yellow roses earlier in the month to send off to her in Canada. This is one of the first stamps that I ever bought and I still think it's a pretty special one. A great way to send our "Birthday Rose" some flowers!
My next project was completed just a few days ago. I like to buy art at home & decor places when they have it on sale and then replace their art with my own. I made the large flower from a tutorial I found here at Arielle's blog. She had decorated a frame with the flower and inspired me to do the same. The image of my piece was cased from Cathy/Catdidit at stampTV. She made this lovely card which I printed out and used to make a template for the stitched flower stem and leaves. Thanks, Cat, couldn't have done it without you!! That little embellie in the center of the flower is from Spare Parts "Antique Flowers, Large"; I snagged them on sale at Hobby Lobby. Hope you enjoyed this "flowery" post as much as I enjoyed the creation process of the projects!
