Challenge #17 - Flowers with Maria






Hiya Peeps and Happy Victoria Day weekend to our Canadian families and friends! Challenge #17 at Sundays with Crissy is all about FLOWERS.  I've made a flower pot pocket card featuring Crissy's adorable digi, Bunny with Flowers.

Here's an outside view of the pocket card. 

Here's a view of the outside of the card plus taaadaaa the insert with the Bunny digi.  This bunny is so versatile and can be used for soooo many occasions.  The insert alone could also be used as a bookmark.  My girls have birthday parties coming up and some of their friends like reading books so this would be perfect.  Of course this could also be a 'just because' card too and I love that I can insert something extra into the pot.

For more details on the card, please visit Maria's Studio.


Sooooo what are you waiting for!  Add some flowers to your projects and then pop on over to THIS BLOG POST to enter your creation by May 31st!

Hugs,
Maria

Challenge #17--Flowers

Spring has sprung here in Southern Ontario and everywhere you look there are blossoms unfolding!! So to celebrate Spring our challenge this month is all about FLOWERS!!! You can use floral papers, stamps that incorportate flowers, or floral embellies--just as long as you have a flower somewhere on your card/project feel free to join in the fun. See the sidebar for submission guidelines.

This month I used Crissy's brand new image called "Nose to Nose", which you can find at Whimsy Stamps!! I adore this image so much I had to colour it three times and in different sizes!! I do apologize for poor picture quality--for whatever reason my camera just doesn't love monochrome artwork.



Here's my first card...



A closer look at the artwork...



And the inside...
