Hello friends! Raise your hand if you would love to receive one of these bouquets!! I got so 'wrapped up' in these beautiful Springtime bouquets, way too much time was spent trying to recreate them, rather than being inspired by them! I quit, and took a totally different route.
- White
- twine instead of brown paper
- a few sprigs of tiny flowers
- a bit of bling
- who needs roses anyway?
It is SO hard to get a close up of these slimline cards!
Okay, I'm passing the baton to you - how will you be inspired by our IB#170 Spring bouquets? Why don't we check out my teammates' cards? You're bound to get tons of inspiration over at the IB Blog!

What a wonderful prize you picked, Michele! The lace is so feminine and perfect for showing off these tiny flowers! A beautiful take on the inspiration photo!
Love how you interpreted this...inspiration can come from any wee little piece of a picture! Just gorgeous!
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! Such an elegant card...and, love that lace!
Wow! What a gorgeous, dainty creation - I love it, Jo x
How you do this magical thing with dies and stamps is beyond me. This one looks like it burst out of your brain fully made. Simply gorgeous...reminds me of lacy, crocheted doiles with wild flowers wrapped in them. Love that you went with what inspired you. You're right, though, slimlines are a pain in the patoot to photograph. However, I think you did great.
I love the way you think and I love how wonderfully feminine this is! What a great lace die too!
How many ways are there to say stunning!
Oh my, what a gorgeous slimline Michele, the lace is so feminine, so gorgeous, love that you decided against recreating the bouquet because we would've missed out on this breathtaking card!
Lucky you to win that amazing die, it looks absolutely fabulous cut is white and mounted on that lovely textured base with the little flowers giving extra colour, detail and interest. The gems are a perfect finishing touch too. Those little posies are just delightful, but I am glad you changed tack xx
Gorgeous, Gorgeous, fabulous.
So soft and feminine, Michele. I tend to replicate too but your change of design resulted in a fabulous card.
Lacy loveliness! A wonderful prize!
Simply GORGOEUS! I love your slimline card...so elegant and delicate!
Oh boy, this is one gorgeous card. Every detail works so well with every other detail and that subtle embossing folder would have to be my favourite!
Oh goodness, pure gorgeousness! So sorry for the initial frustration, but you you definitely came up with something much, much better! Wow!
GORGEOUS card Michele!! I love "white on white" cards and yours with just the tiny pops of color is FABULOUS!! So glad you went in another direction!! :0)
SOOOOOoooooooo beautiful! Would make the most special wedding card...
Be still my heart! Scrumptious! Yes, who needs roses? That really is a big die if this is only half of it!
Totally adore this Michele, I have this die and am yet to use it.... it's a crime! Especially seeing how beautiful your card is!
That floral lace die is exquisite and so is this card! Delicate and delightful!
It's gorgeous, Michele! Love it and Happy Friday!
Now that is one delicate and pretty lace die cut and congratulations with the win Michele x. This is the most prettiest of cards, love the layering and a sheer beauty x.
Ok. This is KILLER gorgeous... and you have already made me buy that lace die, and now I need the flowers. This is one of my favorite of your creations ever. I love the elegance and the twine adds a little rustic to the mix. Truly beautiful.
This is SO beautiful! That lace is gorgeous! You're hitting all of my faves this week...cards with yellow, and cards with special touches that make it look like it was made from fabric, swooon.
Oh I love your take on the photo, Michele! Such a delicate and feminine slimline card! The twine, the gem stones, and the subtle texture in the background are perfect for the floral lace die-cuts!

I love all the delicate elements you chose for this card, Michele! The Floral Lace die is so pretty and you paired it perfectly with those darling tiny blooms! LOVE all the texture on your panel, too...please tell us how you got it to work so well on a slimline card...I'm so impressed :)
Nobody does it better! This is stunning, stunning stunning stunning!
Me, me!! (to receiving a bunch of those flowers, that is!) I love that you went back to the beginning with your card and came up with something so stunning - sometimes we have to just let ourselves go! That lace die is just beautiful, and I love the teeny tiny flowers and tag detail - gorgeous!
Delicate, dainty, feminine and oh so gorgeous, Michele ... a study in beautiful composition! Hugs, Anita :)
Such a beautiful mix of stamps and dies - plus the hint of twine and all of the gems! It's gorgeous.
