On this little card, a flower made of 2 vintage buttons and a stitched stem sprouts up from a fanciful flower pot. For the stitched stem, I stamped a cute stem from our "pick-a-posy" collection and used the stamped image as a pattern for the stitching.

"love to you" ... A happy little design created by layering a silver-edge tag, a punched flower, and a darling design from our "mostly motifs" collection. The "motif " flower is stamped in brown on a textured paper which gives it a slightly distressed look. The patterned ribbons and the "happy thoughts" message tag complete the sweet design.

This card design was once featured in a small article in the fabulous publication: Take Ten - volume 5.
