Flower Power for SOS

Good morning!!  Our challenge at Shopping Our Stash begins today and we want to see some FLOWER POWER!!  Use your handmade or 3-D flowers!  It can include stamped images but must also have at least one handmade or 3-D flower you bought on it.  Be SURE and use that stash!!


Again, I used one of the poinsettia's I picked up at the Dollar Store last year.  They were with the Christmas goodies and they're just the right size to put on a card.  The ribbon is some that was given to me a while back and I've never used it before....and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from a very old SU set.  I wanted to make this card look like a Christmas package.....um.....surely someone out there can see the resemblance!  But, no matter, since it made a quick and easy card for the holidays!

Head on over to the Shopping Our Stash challenge and submit your entry.

I'll be back in a few minutes with my {Pin}spirational Challenge post.

Thanks for stopping by........
Lynn

I think it's gorgeous! I love how you wrapped the ribbon on the layer - it totally looks like a package :) That poinsettia is really lovely!

I thought it looked like a Christmas present even before you said anything. Your poinsettias were a great find. Hope you can get more from the dollar store again this year.

Fabulous, just gorgeous! I need to give this design a try... I have some huge flowers which I don't know what to do with(an Ebay purchase gone wrong) but this would be perfect. Love the red against the white - always so classy.

Marilyn said...

I hope it's ok Lynn because I pinned this card plus I'm going to CASE it!

Love this card, Lynn. Yes it does look like a package and one that I would hate to open because I would not want to destroy the packaging. We just got power back on 2 hours ago. It was out since Sunday, so I'm hoping to catch up with challenges tomorrow, this being one of them.

Vicky Hayes said...

Wow! Lynn - this one is a real show stopper!

This card is absolutely stunning to me. The simplicity of the red and white color scheme is a perfect "back drop" for that absolutely BEAUTIFUL poinsettia. I have ordered a poinsettia die, and as soon as it arrives, I'll be back using this gorgeous creation as my inspiration!

Margaret said...

Love this! Great CAS design and a wonderful way to not only use the flower, but also make it the focal image of your card! Pretty sure I'll be CASEing this one!!
