In my thoughts

I wanted to send a card to a friend, let her know I am thinking of her and what she is going through and wishing her much brighter days ahead.  I found a double sided paper that had very bright colorful flowers and I used it for my inspiration to use my wreath builder template to make this flower wreath. 



It's hard to see with all the pattern going on but the paper I used for my inspiration seemed a little too much when I was putting the card together so I punched both sides with a flower punch and then added the butterfly which was already on my desk that I didn't use in a past project. I also added a few dots with my fine sharpie pen.

Gina K - Wreath builder template and stamp set
Mama Elephant - Butterfly Kisses  sentiment stamp
Verve stamps - Butterfly Grace butterfly stamp
Echo Park - Fine and Dandy paper
EK Success - Corner Rounder punch
Martha Stewart - Cherry Blossom trim punch
Nuvo Crystal drops - Glossy Carnation pink

Hope your week is off to a good start, we have sunshine so I am happy :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

WOW what a HAPPY card ... sure to make her day much brighter! Great job on designing your stamped wreath and how fun is it to be able to use those little bits & bobs that are left over from other projects. I just made a card myself using several do dads that were just laying on the table begging to be turned into a card. Have a great day!

Such a pretty wreath you stamped with those sweet little flowers! I made a template a while ago, but haven't stamped a lot of wreaths yet... but the template is pretty handy! Sweet butterfly!
