I’ve always like potted geraniums. They’re hardy flowers that produce lots of blooms except I find they have this weird smell….anyone know what I’m talking about? Pee Yew!
I made this card for my Mom’s birthday, she always appreciates a handmade card from her daughter. Now, I have to write “Happy Birthday Mom” because like any Mom would, she reads my blog.
Here’s how I made this A2 card:
Freshly Picked Cartridge– Flower, shadow, base and layer cut at 5 inches.
Core’dination’s paper embossed with wood grain folder and sanded.
Dots and bubbles embossing folders
Button & twine bow
Thanks for looking and linking up with our Buttons and Bows challenge this week at FCCB.

April 9, 2012 at 1:31 pmBeautiful card Holly! I also love geraniums and have always thought they had a strange smell about them. I’ve heard that the smell helps keep mosquitoes away. Don’t know if that’s really true or not, but they sure do make a lovely card!!
