I wanted to make a Spring card with soft details and with a love theme. It was designed around the dainty dogwood flowers. This one is going to be for my Mom.
Front Sentiment: You have made a difference.
Inside Sentiment: Thanks for loving me.
The flowers were heat embossed in white on white. I watercolored with distress markers and paper pieced the petals onto the stems. The wood grain and flower with stems were stamped in the background. I added a little heart mailbox, crinkle ribbon, doily lace trim and turquoise garden papers.
