I've again taken that little Hydrangea punch from Martha Stewart out of hiding to make the leaves for this tiny little bloom - an adhesive metal accent from CLOUD9Design.
I wish I could give credit for the bits of embossing on the white background - you know me and my BHITR [blog-hopping-in-the-round]. It's as simple as getting a hammer from the tool-box, placing a piece of cardstock inside, and giving the folder a few gentle strategic whacks from the reverse side. Sending a big thanks to "Ms. Ingenious" as well. . . wherever you are! You'll be seeing it again [and again =]. Let me know if you know who she is, okay?
I'm hoping the ladies at the CASology challenge think this qualifies as a FLOWER as I'm submitting it for Challenge Wk. 96. =]
I better do another, just in case =[
elegant, simple, beautiful! And pinned for future casing!
