Flower Shop Thinking of You Card

I was thinking of a friend today and thought I would give her a call.  She wasn't home so I just left a message to let her know I was thinking of her.  I was originally going to send her this card but after I finished it I wasn't so thrilled with the color.  I think the color is very pretty but something more vibrant would be better.  I found this card on Split Coast Stampers. It was made by sistersandie.  It is such an elegant looking card.  Now the original card does have some tiny pearls on it.  I decided not to add them so I could be assured that they would go through the postal machines without any extra fees.   Go have a look see at the original card.  It is very pretty with the pearls and something in the center of the focal flower.  Plus I just noticed that on the original card the focal flower was punched out twice.  I didn't stamp my words directly on the card.  I didn't have any that were a decent enough size to do that space justice so I just used the Modern Label punch and the words from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set.  

So what I am going to do tomorrow is to redo this card in some pretty colors and make a set out of them!  It sounds like a fun challenge, doesn't it?  

This is a very quick and simple card to make.  I think it would make a FABULOUS Make n Take or Stamp a Stack card.  It doesn't require a lot of time or materials.  Oh and one more thing I forgot to mention when stamping the flowers, I did stamp off on each one except for the focal flower.

Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda

  1. Love the color and content of the card! I will be making several cards using your model.

    I did hop over to see the original and yes she added pearls and they are nice. It is the size of the sentiment, which I don't have either, that changes the card.

    TY for sharing and making my card making easier.
