A gorgeous inspiration photo of fruit and flowers!
Hi there friends!
It's time again for one of my favorite challenges at The Shabby Tea Room! Just look at that photo inspiration of loveliness! It made me think of having lunch at a quaint little French restaurant in the country. We are picking up a chair today that we ordered a couple months ago. So, I'll be enjoying some lovely scenery on the trip down to Amish Country. I'll just have to dream of being in France at the same time...hehehe. It never hurts to dream! We were to make a flower for the challenge, so I layered peach felt and muslin. The center is a Crafty Secrets image, glitter button from American Crafts, pink tulle, and pearls around the edges. I distressed the edges of pink paper with antique linen. The leaves are from Lovely Floral cartridge for the Cricket machine. I finished off the card with some lovely seam binding! Don't you just love seam binding? I sure do!
Whatever you do this weekend I hope it's a great one! Thanks so much for visiting here today...take care, hugs!:-))
