Thinking Of You

Good morning, I am sharing a sweet card using the Waltzingmouse Stamp Set called Funky Flowers, a favorite set of mine! I have used the Funky Flowers Die set to cut the flower, pure perfection. The sentiment is from the set Big Day Today, super CAS card but oh so fun! I popped the flower up on pop dots, a enamel dot for the center, and a few clear sequins to accent my card. I hope you are inspired to create....sparkle & shine!
