I decided to use some of my very neglected Penny Black stamps for this card. I settled on the floral image "cheerful" and the sentiment "the wind". I stamped the flower on some patterned paper from the Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze 6x6 pad and then trimmed it out. A piece of white card stock was cut in two as shown and the sentiment was stamped on the larger piece. The pieces were adhered using foam dimensionals. I added some rhinestones to the center of the flower and then adhered it to the card using additional foam dimensionals. Some more rhinestones finished off the card.
Thanks for stopping by..... and thanks to the ladies at CR84FN for picking my card as one of the top 3 cards for CR84FN 55!

Generally I don't go for busy, but this flower looks wonderful to me! In fact, you've inspired me to stamp some of my flowers on pp. Hope it was a happy birthday for your "baby"--big milestone!

Hello Rosie
I am still here, I have cut back a little on commenting on many posts as it was taking up so much of my time, but don't worry I will always catch up to you. I love the PB cheerful stamp I too have made lovely cards with it. You state the flower is too busy for you, but to me it is dancing in the wind! I think is is beautiful.
We mums can all relate to our little ones growing up and going to school, the first week is the hardest as you don't know what to do with yourself.
