My friend and fellow Papertrey Peeps blogger Cammie posted a card with cracked glass, you really need to go look at her blog here, all my blogger buddies are so talented and a constant source of inspiration. I was inspired to try cracked glass with this set when I saw her creation. I wanted sort of a vintage postcard look so I did a lot of sponging and distressing. Although I made my pansies in rather traditional shades of purple and golden yellow, take some time to google pansy images, they come in so many gorgeous colors! You can have a lot of fun with this flower. Now, my pansies did take up a good portion of my card front so I sort of had to tuck the sentiment in on the side underneath the ribbon knot. I only wish I'd found room for one of the bees in this set, another favorite {i.e. weakness} of mine {translation: show me a stamp set with a bee in it and its in my cart!}. Thanks for looking and happy hopping!
