On A Cheerful Note !

These are two of the three little note cards I made with some cheerful Echo Park Beautiful Life paper. The colours are so pretty, and it was about time that I stopped hoarding it ! There is another one, complete with a colourful envelope, but it chose to remain in hiding. I think I'll make even more and package them together for a little gift.
I used two JustRite stamp sets to do these cards, the flowers are from the Botanical Medallions and Banners set. I stamped them three times for each card, fussy cut and layered them. The sentiments are from the Grand Sentiments set. These sets will probably always be my favourites, I use them a lot ! I used the very cute Spellbinders Captivating Squares dies and Kraft cardstock to make the cards, and a large scalloped punch to cut the top layer of patterned paper. I dressed up the flowers with Wink of Stella in clear, and used two different brown flockings for the centres.
I am entering these in the JustRite Friday Botanical Bliss Challenge

Update: I found the third one! It was under the desk, but unfortunately also under the dog!!

  5. A set of those would be a really sweet gift! I can see why your hoarded those papers, too. :) The flocking looks tres cool!

    If you are interested: It looks like you used Kraft paper for the base. The challenge this week at the Kraft Journal is use a die cut. Also, the Crafting Musketeers is butterflies.
