Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  Yeah!  Happy April Fool’s Day!  But, we aren’t joking…this week our theme is Pick Me Up…a get well, well wishes or thinking of you card!  I send out a lot of this type of card.

FRAGRANT FLOWERS

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Mango Melody cardstock is stamped randomly with the Fragrant Flowers stamp with Mango Melody Ink, then added to the base card.
• A 1 x 3-1/2 strip of Flowers & More Designer paper (host) was added across the front.
• A 1/4 x 2 strip of Polished Pink cardstock was added on top of the DSP and the end cut at an angle.
• Three leaves from Fragrant Flowers Dies were cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Monoadhesive Glue.
• Thinking of You from Very Best Occasions was stamped with Memento Black on Basic White cardstock, then cut with the circle in the Radiating Stitches Dies.
• A trio of white Opaque Adhesive Backed Gems were added to the background.

 

I love the bright white against the rich Mango Melody color!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
