Just for You Pendant and Snowbell Flowers

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing beautiful Nordic flower from Poppy Stamps to inspire your spring cards. My card features Poppy Stamps Nordic Petalglow Flowers and Snowbell Flowers.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:|
Q: Do you grow flowers? What kind?
A: Me? No, I do not have a green thumb

Step #1: I started my card by creating my flowers with different shades of purple and green cardstock.

Step #2: I found a pattern paper to match my purple flowers and die cut it with the center of the Poppy Stamps Scalloped Pinpoint Frames Dies then I cut the scalloped frame portion in pink to make it pop.

Step #3: I put it all together with the flowers in the center on light purple cardstock so they stand out from the floral background. Then I added a sentiment from Poppy Stamps Sentimental Banner Stamps and Dies. I finished my car with scattered pink gems.

Supplies:

 

2751 Scalloped Pinpoint Frames

2771 Nordic Pendant Flower

2772 Snowbell Flowers
