Birthday Flower - Crazy 4 Challenges #42

It's Crazy 4 Challenges day! Today, Mercy has challenged us to use paper flowers on our cards. See the C4C blog for all the deets.

Well, since I love these little paper flowers it really wasn't much of a challenge for me ;-) I got out my old book, punched out some scalloped circles and made my poofy flower. Pretty much everything else can be found at PTI. The card base is Kraft, with the bottom corners rounded, and a layer of Rustic White. The stamped leaf image is from Turning a New Leaf and is stamped on Rustic White with Crushed Olive Distress Ink and matted with Simply Chartreuse with the bottom edge punched. I added a piece of Aqua Mist satin ribbon and an Aqua Mist Vintage Button to the flower center. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom and added some Simply Chartreuse felt leaves that I cut out free hand to the flower. Super simple but I love how it turned out.

We've had a couple of changes in the design team. See the C4C blog for details.

Sooooo, NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)
