I had some time to play today so I decided to do a card tor the Memory Box Floral Challenge. Since I was making this for the Memory Box Challenge I decided to go through my Memory Box dies and pull out a couple to use. I chose these four dies.
I just got this new sentiment from IO and thought it would work well with flowers. I cut the Blossom Oval die twice from Yellow card stock. I cut the flowers out of the oval frame and replaced it with the sentiment,
Then I built by flower arrangement on the side. I used the flowers from the die cut and some Cheery Lynn Daisy flowers for the base. I tucked some greenery behind the flowers using the grape vine, branch and lilacs all from Memory Box. `I added a few sequins and a humming bird left over from another project. This is one of those cards where I think I should have scaled back... you know less is more. Next time.
Oh wow, this is so stunning!! I love the dies you used and the colors!! I don't think you should have scaled back at all - this is gorgeous, Kathy!! Have a great weekend!! Big hugs :)

You flowers are absolutely fabulous on this one. I love the yellow ones especially!! Everything works perfectly together, and then the hummingbird is just the perfect final touch. I really like how he is hovering at the top of the card. Simply beautiful, as usual, my friend. Great greeting too!
