PTI March Blog Hop

This is my second post today. Please scroll below for my MIM and The Outlawz CAS challenge card.

Hello friends! Today is PTI's March Blog Hop. It's been awhile since I've participated in one but I was feeling extra crafty this weekend and got a card done early. 




That big honking felt flower is actually a pin that can be removed by the recipient. If you'd like to make your own, here's a tutorial from Nichole Heady. In Nichole's tutorial she sews the individual flowers to the base but I just used scor-tape for that part. Yes, Im lazy like that…
Im entering this card into the following challenges:

    LOVE that felty flower, Nadine! It's so beautiful over the layered banners of patterned paper! A super cheery CAS card (that coincidentally makes me think of Hawaii)!
