I stamped the cherry blossoms from the MFP - ASIAN DELIGHTS set on a piece of white cardstock, colored them in, and cut that cardstock into 3 panels. I sewed paper lace over the top. I used paper tole technique on the cherry blossoms cluster. I stamped the symbol and sentiment for peace on a piece of white cardstock and matted it with maroon and black cardstock.  As with any flower cards I make, I just can't help myself. I have to add a butterfly. I used a butterfly from the new MFP set called GARDEN ART, that will be featured on the 19th.


This is a card I made last week using the same set, with special stitching and pearls.

    Paper tole...I haven't done that in years. It looks wonderful with the flowers on your card.
