This is a card I made for one of my closest friends, Yvonne. She is one of those people who loves handmade things and has always supported me with my crafting addiction. I feel bad that I didn't get to make an envelope for the card but she forgave me :)My sewing machine is not working at the moment and so I have added some faux rub-on stitching (rub-ons always come to my rescue). I cut out all the flowers and added dimension by placing on foam tape. I find that I am using more and more patterned papers as a design element in my cards, I find it an inexpensive and effective way to decorate a card.

love it, Susan! and no wonder she didn't mind the lack of envelope, 'cuz when the card's so pretty, there's no need to hide it away! :)

Just fabulous! I don't know why I never think about cutting the flower image out of my pp, I keep thinking I have to use the whole thing. Im definitely gonna give this a try next time. Thank you so much for sharing, you've got me inspired!!
Beautiful. Thanks for playing with the Odd Girls.
This is lovely. I especially like the cut out flowers. Thanks for joining in on the Some Odd Girl challenge.
I love the elegant layout of this card! Great submission for the Some Odd Girl challenge!
