Flowers on the Brain!

I spent the entire day yesterday shopping for flowers for our wedding in July! With the exception of Jimmy's boutonniere and my bouquet, we will be putting the flowers together ourselves. That will be 2 bridesmaids, 1 junior bridesmaid, 2 flower girls, 7 boutonnieres, 5 corsages and 5 miscellaneous bouquets. I hope we are up for the challenge! We have purchased all of those flowers from Costco and if you are in the market for flowers...that is where to go!!!

I'm pretty sure I spend the night dreaming of flowers last night! So as soon as I woke up this morning I headed down to my studio and began to create! I'm excited to show you all what I came up with!

The first, and probably my favorite are the pink blossums on a bright plaid background. This card has so many possible uses, wether it be for birthday, anniversary, wedding, shower, graduation or just because!


With flowers still on the brain, I moved on to my second creation. Inspired by the flowers from my own wedding, I took some silk flower petals from a bouquet of hydrangea and put together this beautiful birthday card!


And finally, as my time for working was quickly running out, i poured everything I had in to creating this finally piece de resistance! I love this card not only for the abundance of blooms but the slight shimmer the paper has. Today We Celebrate You! This card pretty much sums up any occassion where you will need something special!

All of these cards are available online in my Etsy shop. If you have a favorite flower and would like a custom card made, please contact me through my shop any time and I would love to create something for you!

There you have it! My early Saturday morning creations! The sun is shining brightly in Bentley, Alberta, Canada this morning and I hope it is shining where you are too! Enjoy your weekend everyone, be safe and be happy!
