Cindy challenged us to make center step cards this week. I thought that combining that with the monthly challenge would be fun...
Stamped the hollyhocks in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics (I used 30). Made a frame with Webster's Pages Vellum and mounted/matted. Made the center step card from Bravo Burgundy using the SCS tutorial. Scored a trellis on each of the sides. Punched MS Branches and Hydrangea from artichoke pink and purple scraps. Decorated the sides and assembled the spray. Punched the MS Floral Doily border and added that and the sentiment from Flourishes With Gratitude. PT - 36
Come over to the Flourishes blog to play along this week: http://flourishes.org/2012/01/timeless-tuesday-153/
Thanks so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

So pretty! I love this card shape but avoid it as I usually have to cut at least 3 to get it right. Yours is perfect. Love the scoring and the flowers - what great touches. You should have posted your punch tally - I think it is at least over 30 and possibly into the 40s or 50s. Wow!!!!
