Friend

This is my third post for today, be sure to scroll down!

This is the sketch from Clean and Simple:

For my card I incorporated the JUGS challenge - to make a 3D flower. I made it from a vintage dictionary and some circle punches. I also stamped the leaf on the dictionary pages. The background is created with CTMH (Damask Tile), and the ruffle is some ribbon I found at WalMart.



Cardstock: CTMH
Pattern Paper: October Afternoon, dictionary pages
Stamps: CTMH, PTI
Button: PTI
fiber: CTMH
