Did you see Julie's Card of the Week in this week's A Muse Newsletter? She took the new mini flower stamp... which she designed herself, by the way... and stamped it repeatedly to create an elegant blossom. What a great idea! Now why didn't I think of it? After seeing her amazing card, I just had it to try it myself! I'm a lazy stamper... plus I'm out of post it notes, so I skipped the step of cutting a scalloped circle out of a post it note for a template and did my best to eyeball a circular shape. I traced around all the little flowers with my clear spica glitter pen, cut out the blossom so I could give it a bit of dimension with pop dots, and mounted it over top a stem from the Stitched Garden Clear Set. I stamped the sentiment in two different colors just for fun and framed it in with my Marvy oval and scalloped oval punches. One little mini flower with a tiny red twinkle sticker in the center was the perfect finishing touch, along with a few white polka dots outlining the oval and scalloped edges. I stamped a border from the Fancy Borders clear set and ran the white background piece through my Cuttlebug using my swiss dots embossing folder. A little red sheer ribbon for a splash of color and the addition of Mr. Snail, and voila... my card was complete!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you've got a fun weekend planned... with some time for stampin'!
