I was clearing out a drawer and found a box of dies I was sent in a card swap-so--used a vase and the floral display just the right size to fit on a smooshed background I also found(found a few actually)things get put away and forgotten about!Flower sentiment is from Chocolate Baroque and a bit of doodling and faux stitching to finish.

Isn't it fun when you find a smooshed background hidden in your stash and to be able to add a beautiful floral and vase, and then finish with faux stitching and doodling... beautiful card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
Beautiiful card, love it. Anesha

Wonderful! To clear out the drawer was really successful. Your card looks so wonderful. I love the soft background. Stunning vase! It looks so vintage to me for I got a similar one from my grandma. Beautiful flowers and a great arrangement. And the colors you used are really perfect.
Thank you for sharing your card with the Everybody Art Challenge.

Stop! This is too pretty for words! I swoon over the die cut, and your smooshed background is the perfect place for it to rest. This could go on a wall! I find hidden treasures in my room now and then, too, but this... wow!
Wow! A fabulous design and super vase and flowers! Sometime we have forgotten treasures but luckily we discover them! :)
A stunning card Carol. love those die cuts.x
Beautifully elegant with the vase and flowers ♥
Beautiful card. The dies just go perfectly with your background. they were made for each other. I have just found some rub -on transfers in a drawer going back to 2005. Hugs Mrs A.

How are you feeling now? Hope you are able to take things easy and are keeping warm in this freezing weather.
I adore this card, I love how you have allowed some of the small flowers to lap over the frame and how amazing your smooshed background contrasts the flowers and vase.
Take care.

Such a beautiful card and I've always loved the backgrounds that you create, especially when you find one you made earlier and it evolves into another beautiful creation, like this one. Double whammy! Michelle x
That is a great die cut vase and flowers. I learned about 6 years ago that when someone sends me something crafty to put it in a tote of items on my desk and use items from the tote on a regular basis because I had so much and it was getting tucked away and not used. I have been working through that tote for 6 years and it is still not empty. LOL! It is my crafty goal to use up those items and once I do I will start adding my own goodies that need used up.
Your card is beautiful!!! Thanks so much for participating in our CREATIVE CRAFTERS challenge!!! I appreciate that you play along and I enjoy visiting your blog!! Have a happy crafty day!!

I love this Carol. The flowers and vase are so pretty and the colours of your background help it stand out. Greater bits of doodling too x
A beautiful work of art. I love it. I think that die was made to go with the flowers.
WOW, Carol, what a magnificent card! See what happens when you find 'lost' crafting supplies? :-D So glad to see you playing along in our Anything Goes challenge at QKR Stampede. Hope to see you again in the next challenge. Good luck in the draw.
