I use old calendars for making my envelopes for my cards at times and when I had finished with this one and I was putting the back cover in my recycle bin I saw the small pictures of each of the months on the back and thought they would make great fronts to cards also, and that is where this image came from. I use a die cut to frame and then thought of an old dogwood punch I had that would go with it. I added some lines to the flower using my foam mat and stylus tool and then inked the center.
