I have had this idea since I got this set and I finally got a chance to play and work it out. I am not sure if I saw this on another blog or was something I just wanted to try. I have been having fun with the Fifth Avenue Floral set and doing some layering of cards. I decided to give it a try on the rose since I had not done it with…
Do you recognize this layout? This is the third card I have made using it. I just wanted to show you how one layout can take on a different look just by changing the colors and stamps.

The Tag, You’re It blog challenge was all about “wings”. Your tag had to have wings in some form. It could be an insect with wings, wings on your card, flying images, etc. I was looking through my patterned paper and came across a scrap that had butterflies on it.
