Today's card was inspired (ahem - case'd) by
Julie Ebersole. If you haven't done so already you've got to check out her blog,
Paper Trufflez. Her work is very inspiring and you'll find lots of goodness to take in!
The flower image is Big Blooms-Chrysanthemums from Waltzingmouse Stamps and the sentiment is Signature Greetings from Papertrey Ink (thanks Maria for letting me borrow your set!). I drew in the black box (with a ruler of course silly) and voila! instant magic.
I decided to make a bunch of the cards in different colors since I had all the supplies out. I'll package them up in a pretty box and they will make a great gift set for someone. See Im getting a head start on Christmas already.
If you haven't done so already please check out the
pictures I took of the Honolulu Foster Botanical Garden. I wish I could say I was this fabulous photographer with a unique, untapped talent but honestly the setting made it easy to get these beautiful shots. ;o>
Thanks for stopping by and having a look!
