A-bouquet ... get it? in place of A-Okay? is this thing on???
OH did I need a little positive thinking this week! Something wonderful to celebrate: we have TWO new members of our IB Team to introduce so be sure to read all about that on our IB blog. Welcome to you Cindy, and Silke - so happy to have you join us, and can't wait to get to know you better!
Our photo inspiration was the perfect excuse to do some mindless/mindful die cutting with a few colored card stocks in my stash. Altenew Wildflower Garden to the rescue! I was inspired by the darling flowers, colors, and even my sentiment... everyone needs to hear these words on occasion...
I hope you'll join me as I head over to IB157 to see what our new team members have created! Of course I know the whole team will see this photo through different eyes, and styles!

Gorgeous card! I love how you stamped leaf branches in gray, it gives so much dimension to the flower arrangement. And, of course, the sentiment in gray is perfect for this card.
