Flowers of thanks

Today's project is a simple floral card that can be easily altered for birthday, thinking of you, sympathy...well, just about anything!  I love flowers. Always have. In my free time I love to plant and prune and living in Florida allows me to do that 12 months a year!  Here are some tips to creating this card.  1) Embossing folders create a lot of texture. You might not agree with me on my choice of the chevron with the polka dot DSP but I think the two work well together.  Don't be afraid to experiment with texture and patterns. 2) This stamp set is so easy to work with. The flowers are a separate image that align perfectly with the stems creating a flawless flower in seconds. 3) The word window punch is used for my words but this time I cut the right side of the paper off, leaving just a small area on my card. I didn't want the white cardstock for the words competing with the white stamped area of my flowers. 4) I added a small circle of white to the center of the flower using the White Gel Pen.
