Friendly Blessings

 

I thought I'd try my hand at making a similar card to Chris Smith's card that I found on Pinterest. Now, I had a bit of trouble centering the die cut shape... so it does hang a bit off the card, but for my first attempt... it's good.

I changed up a few things on my card to make it my own... but wanted to show where I got my inspiration! Thanks Chris!

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the petals to make them shine.
