Where flowers bloom....

This is a special card I wanted to make. I have a friend whose 15 month old daughter was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. For the longest time I could not figure out what kind of card to make. What was appropriate and fitting. Then I saw this sentiment in a magazine and I hope it is alright for the given situation. Also over at Fantabulous Cricut their challenge was to create a spring themed project so I thought this fit in there as well. Thanks for looking.


This was also my first attempt at an easel card! I think it turned out really nice!! It's 4.5x4.5. I cut the flowers from Stretch Your Imagination, one at 3 inch one at 3.5 inch. The sentiment was computer generated but I cut bloom from Just Because Cards. The word Hope came from Gypsy Wanderings and I layered and added some brads to decorate it up a bit.
