Wings to the Heart

I received my Papertrey order this month in record time, 6 days from the day of the shipping notice. Then I sadly neglected them for almost a whole week. So tonight I decided I Had to do something with the vine & floral images from the "with Sympathy" set. It is so pretty. I stamped the vines in ripe Avocado then I stamped the little 5 petal flower using regal rose from SU, an almost perfect match to the little crocheted flower on my card.

My mom made this particular flower from some colors she found in a thrift shop. I can not believe how one little crocheted flower can make all the difference on a card. Stay tuned as my mom and I continue to make a bunch of crocheted flowers. I do plan to make them up into sets and possibly individuals that you can buy! I just think the prices of some of the ones that are out thee are ridiculous. Anyway, I will let you all know when the flower sale will start. So, Anyone actually interested??

  3. What a BEAUTIFUL card! I love everything about it! And, "yes", I would buy some crocheted flowers. Even though I crochet (very basic), I would much rather purchase them from someone else that makes them, and not from a store in a bag that's stamped "made in china"!
