Pretty Flower



Happy August!

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! It is super hot here at the moment; I won't complain because soon it will be getting cold. I had a great week and I am very excited I made the design team for Inky Impressions!

I so enjoyed making this card. When I saw the challenge make your own flower this idea popped in my head while I was showering. Tilda with Ballet Shoes is one of the sweetest Magnolia images and was just perfect for this design.

The top half of the inside of the card:
