From Me to You....


Hello Friends,
I was inspired today by the beautiful inspiration photo over at The Shabby Tea Room: Week #173 - Glorious Flowers:

This week Rebecca is our creative host and she has chosen the theme of 'Glorious Flowers' along with the beautiful photo above for inspiration.  Rebecca asks that we create a card or project inspired by the COLORS FROM THE PHOTO AND INCLUDE FLOWERS, RIBBON AND NEWSPRINT!


 I used the beautiful Spellbinders Grand Labels 4 and Decorative Elements Labels 4 to create my card base and mats.  My mat is made out of some old book paper that I had on hand and this is my "newsprint" element.  My ribbon elements are the two ribbon "leaves: attached to the left side of the large flower.  I actually created 5 various sized flowers out of floral paper.  Then after playing with the layout on the card I opted to combine them together to create one large bloom with a small rose at its center.

Here is a picture of the inside of my card:  
 I apologize for the color of my photos...I was really struggling with getting these colors to photograph well.  I think the very first photo is the only one that really shows them accurately.
 Thanks for taking a look at my card.  I have company this weekend so I am making this short and sweet!
Hope you join in the fun at the Tea Room!
Hugs,
Jill

  6. Beautiful card, Jill! I have not purchased any of the "gold labels" yet because I was told they did not cut as well as the decorative labels. Did you find that to be true? Love all the elements incorporated in that magnificent floral! Layers, layers and more layers - just beautiful! Great colors, too. hugs, de
