I Brake For Beautiful Flowers!


Happy Saturday everyone!
I just received a new shipment from I Brake For Stamps and I couldn't be happier!!  It's like Christmas when I open a new box of stamps.

Today I'm sharing the set called BOTANICAL.
 It's a set of five, two images and 3 verses.
I've also used the verse OLD FRIENDS.


Not only were there stamps in my box but some beautiful WILD ORCHID FLOWERS as well!
The flowers actually inspired my whole card.  I tried to color the image to match the flowers.
I used 2-tone Champagne Pink Cherry Blossom,  10mm Golden Yellow Open Roses and 15mm Cream Open Roses.  Aren't they gorgeous!  You can trim the stems off if you like but often I curl them (using my piercing tool) and leave them sticking out.  I think it gives them a bit of a whimsical vine look.

My family has 7 birthdays in March so I always have to get started early.
This one will be for my sister-in-law.


The birthday sentiment inside is also found in the Botanical set.

Here's a close up of the beautiful flower.

This is stunning, love that flower which you have colored so beautifully. The wild orchid ones are the perfect addition and thanks for the tip on the stems, never have thought of that but it does look charming.
Hope you are well,safe and warm.
