Craft Warehouse - Thinking of You

Thinking of You, originally uploaded by createoften.

Cardmaking is a challenge for me... but, throw some paint on textured cardstock and that totally makes me happy. LOL!

I took a photo and printed it onto cardstock to give it vintage appeal. Then I used pinking shears to add more texture. The challenge was to not use patterned paper. It was a little easier than the 12x12 page layout. I wanted to make these flowers {POP} on the white background. I took the Prima Marketing flowers and pulled the tops off to create the small flowers. Then, I layered a couple of different flowers by removing tops and bottoms and placing together to get a unique look. One thing I love about Prima flowers is that you can get your money's worth by removing layers and creating your own look. The package goes a long way!
