This week's Paper Blooms challenge is to use some of Leah's gorgeous dishes as your inspiration. I was immediately drawn to the colors and large flowers and used those as my starting point.I tried to go elegant with this card, since I thought it fit well with the pattern on the dishes.
I embossed this paper flower with the Swiss Dots folder, then added one of Leah's blooms, a stick pin (also from Paper Blooms), and pearls.I'd love to see you play along with our challenge this week. Just link up your card to the Paper Blooms blog. You do NOT need to own any Paper Blooms to participate, although if you've got some, we'd love to see them. I can't wait to see what you create!
Stamps: Mega Mixed Messages (PTI)
Paper: Real Red textured, Certainly Celery, PTI white

Accessories: crocheted flower & stick pin (Paper Blooms), paper flower (Heidi Swapp), pearls (Kaisercraft), Martha Stewart scalloped dot punch, oval punch, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots
