Flowers for Friends...

Hi all,

Sorry I've been MIA again. We have been battling the Creeping Crud here, and it's been tough to stay out of bed/recliner/couch long enough to create anything.

I saw that there was a Flowers for Friends challenge at Impression Obsession, and thought of this fun basket of flowers that I purchased at the stamp show last summer in Collinsville. So, here is my last minute attempt to throw a card together just in the nick of time! (The challenge ends in 2 hours!)

Here's my card:

For this card, I stamped in the middle of the cardstock, scored over to the image on both sides, fussy cut the image at the top, and folded the card over. In this second photo, you can see how it looks after cutting and folding.


I used Impression Obsession's 'Daisy Basket' for the image, and Impression Obsession's 'Solid Tree' for the sentiment.

Hope you are all doing well!
Thanks for stopping by...
Patti J.

So sorry to hear you've had to deal with illness. No fun! Your card is awfully pretty, though, so it hasn't dampened your creativity at all. Hope you are completely well very soon.

This is such a wonderful card. The flowers are coloured so pretty and it makes me think that spring is on it's way.
