Caardvarks challenge

Bloom where you are planted card

The challenge this week on the Caardvarks blog was to make a card with a verse or quote on it. I used this quote stamp from the Papertrey Ink Garden of Life set. I cut a label from some My Mind's Eye paper using the largest of the Labels 1 Nestabilities dies, adhered it to the pink paper, and then cut closely around the label with scissors to make a mat with the pink paper. To make the flower, I punched a scalloped circle out of pink paper and cut along the inside of the scallops to make them look like petals, then curled the edges under to give it some dimension. I added a blue Prima flower and a white button to finish it off. The ribbon is American Crafts.

Thanks for looking!
