Cleaning closets the other day in Steve's house and I came across three embroidered flowers. I asked - he didn't know anything about them, so I decided to make quick use of them on a trio of cards!
The blush design paper and zip strip are from Charlotte papers (retired) and the black design was from another retired CTMH paper pack (can't remember the name!). I had some die-cut felt leaves, and rose-gold sequins. The Thinking of You and the Happy Birthday are CTMH stamps. The You Remind me of the Person I'd Like to Become is a stamp from the set "Carpe Diem" made by Verve. I love that set!
I am surprised how different they look just by changing up the arrangements on the card - and for the birthday one, making the size square rather than A2. I used the black design and zip strip along the bottom edges of the insides to carry the theme over.
Don't you love it when you find something so cool!?!

These are just lovely. I love textiles on cards and this is a great use of those flowers. I love that paper too. It looks like Charlotte? Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards. :)
WOW Sharli, what a find you made. Those flowers are so beautiful and what a special touch they've added to these otherwise beautiful cards.
What a fantastic find, Sharli! And a fabulous use of your find. Crocheted flowers are so pretty, especially the ones made with that kind of thread/yarn. The variagations in color are lovely. I really like how you used them on these pretty cards. The colors you chose really show off the colors in the flowers. Wonderful work! Just last night Amy and I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said, I ♥ Crochet. You don't see that very often. Thanks for sharing! Hugs! :)
Oh how cool! Those are lovely and you've given them the perfect BG to show themselves off. Fabulous combo of PP patterns, Sharli. Keep cleaning ;)
What a wonderful treasure....those flowers look simply stunning on your cards. Just so beautiful.
