Mary (you are here)


For my card I decided to paper piece the flower with melon mambo designer paper. Cut it out and popped it up for dimension. I colored the stem and leaves with markers.

The base is olive cardstock with a layer of concord crush (rich purple) and some coordinating designer paper.

I used a Spellbinders labels 16 die and cut some melon mambo (bold pink) cardstock and designer paper. Added some concord crush ribbon and a bow with a pearl center to complete this card.

The next stop on the hop is to MariLynn's blog. She will have something amazing for you to view as well. Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win this awesome stamp set.

See you tomorrow.
