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.

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!

Take care.

Gorgeous card Carol, love the die cut flowers and that vase is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAvril xx
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
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteYour 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!!
ReplyDeleteDeanne at A Little Bit O’ Paper
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
ReplyDeleteA beautiful work of art. I love it. I think that die was made to go with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteWOW, 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.
