Carolyn needs no help from me selling her newest set,"Framed Flowers" because she makes some of THE prettiest floral cards I know of, but I gotta try and do my girl justice because she's always there for me! I love how easy these are make for making quick, elegant cards, and the extra smaller individual flowers and leaf are great for backgrounds or anywhere you need to add a little something! This card took five minutes and was inspired by one of the first cards of Carolyn's I ever saw, a stunning back and white floral background with her monogram in the middle. This paper is from the DCVW All Dressed Up glitter stack(and is black and ivory), I knew right away it would be perfect with these delicate flowers. I inked up just the "friend" from one of her greetings in the set and added stickles to the center of my flowers. I notched a place on my focal point mats for the ribbon to peek out from under and added a few adhesive rhinestones to the corner. Now I can pull this card out of my basket for any lady, any time!
So stunning!!! Love what you did with this set and totally agree with you that Carolyn does make some of the prettiest floral cards!
