I made this card using the sketch from last week's challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary. I used Flower Shop to create the background on the Hello Honey cs. The "hello" is from the Posy Punch set and the "friend" is from a very old set called Noteworthy. I added Dazzling Details to the centers of the flowers on the background and lots of bling to the sentiments. Since I retired 4 years ago, I do not see many of my friends much anymore. I decided that I should make cards to send them to let them know that I'm thinking of them and miss them. I hope they enjoy receiving their "snail" mail and that it brings a smile to their faces.

I'm sure any one of your friends would be happy to receive this bright and cheerful card! I love the way you used the flowers both on your background and as a focal point and the rhinestones underlining the sentiment are a neat detail. Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!
Oh, what a pretty card! Love the way you stamped the floral background. Wonderful combination of patterns too. Thanks for playing along with us this week at Create with Connie and Mary.

I'm sure your friends will just light up as soon as they open your thoughtful card! I like how you stamped your background. And the DSP adds a nice pop of pattern. Thank you for playing along this week at Create with Connie and Mary!
What a wonderful way to connect with your friends, and what a beautiful card! I love the contrast of the subtle stamped background piece with the coordinating patterns of designer paper. Very pretty card! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!

I'm sure your friends will love hearing from you, and cards in the mail are the best! Love the patterns of DSP you used and I'll miss that Mixed Bunch stamp set when it retires! Thanks for playing along with the sketch challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!

I like how you used the same flower shape to create the dsp on the right of your card. Really ties everything together. What a great color combo too...going to miss this paper stack! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
