On Monday on Splitcoast Stampers, the technique lovers challenge was to make a flip flop card.
Even though I had made one of these before, I thought I would give it another try. I went for a vintage look. On my topiary I added some quilled roses. I added a key charm to the sheer ribbon, because I was remembering The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I was thinking it could be the key to the secret door.

For the inside I used more of the vintage looking paper, a page from my encyclopedia, and a paper doily.

I was thinking that it would be a great card to slip a package of seeds into. Since I didn't have that package of seeds yet. I used two sets from last month's release to make a gladiolus seed pack.(seeds packets and glad glads)
I like the sentiment about peace especially after the attack in Boston. I do find peace in my garden, but I believe that true peace is in Jesus alone. This song below really touched my heart and I hope it will encourage you as well.
A gorgeous card, especially with the vintage look. I like the quilled roses you added to the topiaries.
ReplyDeleteLovely card and gorgeous version of that hymn. Thanks for sharing both.
