This is my first time to participate in the Papertrey Ink blog hop and I am really excited! You were to use flowers somewhere on your card. I'm not really a flowery person so this was a challenge for me. I had seen on someones blog the idea to use old sewing patterns to cut out and make flowers so this was the perfect opportunity for me to try the idea out. I die cut my flowers out of the pattern paper and then sprayed them with glimmer mist. I think they turned out cute. I wish I had more flower dies so I could layer, but I don't. Since I was using my old patterns for flowers I decided to stay with the sewing theme and use the quilt blocks to make a fence. The flower stems are from bitty buttons set. Can't wait to join in the hop.Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Wonderful card! I love the idea of using old patterns (I just finished up a dress for my daughter, now I can repurpose the pattern). Love the use of the quilt blocks!

This is such a cute card, and I love the flowers made out of pattern paper.
This turned out so cool Teresa!! I love the colors too!
Teresa, you did a beautiful job with this challenge. I love that you used the sewing patterns for the flowers. Super card!!
I never thought of using that paper for flowers... good twist on that one! Good Job. You posted a question on my blog... No, my flower is made from a sizzlet die from SU and glued together after scrumpling the edges to make the curl... then added glitter glue to the edges. :)
Very beautiful your work. I was sad because I lost the time of posting. I have a really nice card on my blog, http://neusinhafusco.blogspot.com/2009/05/cartao_20.html ........ and I'll be happy if you visit me. Thanks
Great card Teresa!! Love it!
