A few days ago I said I was going to be making some more carnations, after all they are my favorite flower. When I saw the The Paper Players challenge to make anything that brings spring to mind I couldn't resist, and the Stamping 411 Challenge was the perfect sketch to use for the idea I had going on in my mind.
Yesterday I also made this little 3x3 thank you for a friend.
I guess the only downside to these cards is you'd have to mail them in a box!
If you didn't see my other post on how to make carnations and would like to see how, click here. Oh, before I forget, I did use deckle scissors for these two cards, just to see if I liked it. I think either way works!
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
