Inspired by this great sketch from mojo Monday. I just had to use this little paper flower I had punched out some pages from an old broken book with Stampin' Up!s scallop circle punch, made some cuts and then layered. I chalked the edges for definition and popped a button on.
It has been such a busy week for me as I have been preparing for the craft fayre which I should have publicised before - doh ! But it's at the Ostreme Centre, Mumbles (really pretty place) in Swansea on Saturday 11th of July 10- 4 pm.
If anyone comes along and mentions the blog they might get a little prize ;D
Have a great day & see you tomorrow xx

Gorgeous card I love the paper flower - did you use newspaper? I hope the Craft Fayre goes well for you, I wish I could be there but it's quite a way for me. x
I really like the colours on that, reminds me of chocolate and strawberries, yum. Very very nice work.
Gorgeous card and what lovely colours. Love the punched flowers and the image is soft and gentle. Funny we have both used the same sketch today!!
