Year of Flowers Revisited

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me today, for the April Papertrey Ink Senior DT challenge. This time around we bring you the Year of Flowers collection! There are a total of 12 sets and I've chosen to work with my favorite... the Sweet Pea. Here's what I came up with...I started by stamping the sweet pea image a few times, in Smokey Shadow ink, onto a Rustic Cream card base. Then stamped the sentiment and rounded the bottom corner.For a pop of color, I traced the edges of each blossom and leaf with Copic markers (BG11, R20, V95 & YG95). To finish the card off, I wrapped the base with Fine Linen Twill Ribbon and embellished with a couple Fine Linen buttons.

A Personal Update: For those of you who may be wondering... It's been a fast five weeks since my surgery and recovery is coming along very well. I am happy to report that the crutches have been gone for the past two weeks and the knee brace is now coming off. I've successfully completed three weeks of physical therapy and have three more to go. Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers.

Well, that's it from me today. Now be sure to visit the other Papertrey Ink Senior Design Team girls for more Year of Flowers goodness...

Thanks for stopping by today!
