MFT June Hop and Shop!

It’s here!! MFT’s June Hop and Shop is here!! The hop starts at the MFT blog, so if you just happened upon my post, you should probably head on back over there for the beginning.

Tonight I get to show you Inspired by Flowers (Set 2). This is the second installment of a year-long series of flowers-of-the-month. I’ve done three more cards to add to the set I’ll be working on throughout the year. You can see the original three cards and the altered purse I did to hold them HERE

This set’s flowers are Lily Of the Valley, daisy, and rose. You’ll notice that I’ve again kept the layouts simple with low profile embellishments so all 12 cards (and envelopes) will fit in my little altered purse. 

First up, Lily Of the Valley. I used the new Large Simply Scallops Die-namics die on this one.

Next up: Daisy. On this card, I used the new Open Bracket Die-namics die.

And the inside (the sentiment on the inside of this card is from Inspired by Flowers - Set 1). :

And finally, the Rose (the sentiment on the outside of this card is also from Inspired by Flowers - Set 1). And on this one I used the Double Scallop Border Die-namics die.
