May 2012 PTI Blog Hop



Wow, this was a toughy!  So many elements to choose from but I didn't want it to be cluttered.  So obviously I chose the flower bowl, I liked the checkerboard but didn't want too much of it and the grey(?), black and white plate.  


My flower, which I am pretty pleased with, was made by cutting out 1 petal, rubbing the underside of the diecut to make the card a bit more pliable then reattached to give it 3D shape.  I think Melissa Bickford did this quite a while ago, but not absolutely sure about that.
