I got home last night from my business trip and could not wait to get into my craft room to relax and create. Here is a card I created for the Fab Friday Challenge #46.
And here is the challenge badge:
The colors said "flowers" to me and I wanted to use a new stamp set that has not yet seen a lot of ink. So out came the Polka Dot Pieces stamp set. I cut one sprig of leaves and the other is stamped directly on the background card stock. I realize after fussy cutting the first sprig I really should get the Bird Builder Punch, one of the very few I don't own.
The ribbon is the new 1/8" Cotton Ribbon in Daffodil Delight.
You can see I even decorated the envelope with these cute flowers. I may just add a third flower in Daffodil Delight before I give this card. Everything looks better in three's.
The sentiment provides balance to the card filling up the white space at the top.
Yesterday as I was preparing for my trip back to Naples, I stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. As I enjoyed my first cup of coffee I perused Pinterest. When the server came up she asked if I was a crafter and I enthusiastically said YES. She shared that she was too and that she has been making wedding invitations and even shared a couple of her card designs with me. I love how crafting bonds people together almost instantly. So Valarie P, I hope you followed up on my blog and see this shout out to you! Thank you for starting my day with a smile.

Michelle, Love your Cracker Barrel story – it’s true that crafters are a wonderful group of people. Speaking of wonderful, this card is gorgeous! What a wonderful way to balance the colors. Thanks for playing along with the Fab Fri Color Challenge.
What a pretty card! These colors are perfect for flowers and butterflies! I really love the polka dot element carried throughout your design. Perfect!
Those flowers and butterflies look perfect in our challenge colors! Such a bright and cheerful card…I can’t help but smile! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
