I had great fun working with this sketch. Pulled out this fabulous flower from Happy Place and the coordinating Happy Doodles Die Set. The papers are from MME's The Sweetest Thing and I added a pop of colour by using Old Olive for my flowers.
Wanted a more feminine feel to the card so I punched the scalloped borders and added the Daisy Chain border down the side. Still no ribbon so a tiny bow (aka: to fit the sentiment as in bow on the finger to remember something) added to the stem of the flower and I was finally satisfied with the card.

Wanting to say a big thank you to everyone for remembering me and my blog. So sorry I have been lax in my commenting for the past few months....life has been very busy and there are only so many hours in a day so something had to give.

Until then, thank you for your continued support ((hugs))!
