Flowers and Ribbon and Brads... Oh, My!

Tuesday, February 03, 2015


On occasion, I'm pressed for time and won't be able to make a card using my Cricut. Luckily, I have a stash of floral embellishments and designer paper which are perfect for creating simple handmade greeting cards. For this birthday card, I recycled some ribbon and used some of my favourite brads to attach the flowers to designer paper, which I matted onto white card stock. The sentiment is a stamp I found at Michaels and adhered using a strip of adhesive foam. Et, voilà!


Here is this week's Wordless Wednesday linky:

  25. What a beautiful card. It amazes me how you can create these little pieces of art. I don't think I could.

    I would love to have you link up some of your creation(s) on my new(ish) s~A(R)T~urday art linky. I am sure they'd fit right in.
