This sentiment came with the the little flower so I decided to pick up the colors in the polka dot paper I used for the sentiment and color it in red. This is another one of those cards I was really pleased with at the end, love it when that happens :) My great niece just turned 22 and her Mom tells me she liked it :)

Your idea worked great! I try to keep my spending to a minimum as well, and love finding my own ways to duplicate ideas I see on-line w/out spending money! (I also shop ebay and etsy discount stores to find bargains on paper-crafting supplies!)
ReplyDeleteI love the polka-dot paper, the puffy flower, and that notebook background! Great card!
Love the way your paper is cut and how it has white scalloped edges. The red really pops out nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love the eyelet detail.

Your angle design is so cute and I love the stitched border. No reason you need a whole special die for that angle, as you've so clearly shown. The combo of polka dots, puffy flower, and that super ultra-cute sentiment is a winner!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply sweet! Love your design and the colors and that adorable puffy flower!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Connie! The angled paper looks like a dainty handkerchief! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell that's cute!!!! The sweet little puffy flower and lacy edging are really sweet! xo

ReplyDeleteThis turned out fabulous Connie! I love the polka dotted paper at an angle like this and the eyelet border you added to it makes me think of a ladies hankie. So sweet and feminine! The puffy flowers are cool too! I'm sure your niece loved it!
ReplyDeletethis all came together beautifully!! as i have gotten older, i love red. this design and color would make a beautiful valentines card. you could make the flower a heart!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, oh how darling this card turned out. I just love the puffed flower and to be in red is even better. This will surely be a cherished card by your niece. Have a great weekend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHi, Connie! Such a fantastic use for that darling "stuffed" and "buttoned" flower! I can just imagine how delighted you were to rediscover these from your long-ago stash and be able to use it in such an updated, beautiful fashion! The layout is great, and that pretty, dainty white edging definitely looks like lace. Sweet in every way, especially with the dotted paper in the background! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteSuper card, I love the flower and how it matches the paper. As for the angled border, you'd never know you hadn't used a die, it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely and sweet card!
