Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a fabulous holiday weekend!

Our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren came over to celebrate the Fourth of July. Lots of food and family fun. That always makes this mom and grandmother extremely happy!

My creation for today is for two challenges:



Holly challenged us to create our own Paper Posies.
I chose to create crepe paper flowers using Terri's tutorial! Thanks, Terri! Thanks, Holly for the fab challenge and the link!

Denise challenged us to find inspiration here! I chose this beautiful cake! Thanks for the wonderful challenge, Denise! So many gorgeous cakes!

The Rubbernecker image from the Florals collection was stamped, embossed and then heat set! The lovely flowers were made using circle punches and crepe paper. I could only find white crepe paper so after punching out circles I stippled  using cert. celery. I also found that if I doubled the crepe paper the circles cut more evenly.  The framing for the flowers are Spellbinders Nestibilities. The dp for the larger panel was cut from a tissue box! The swirl is a Tim Holtz die cut. The white background panel was scored using Scorepal.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope to see you again soon! Hugs!!!!!

Fran, this is beautiful! I was looking at the layered effect with the die cuts and almost missed that you made the flowers. I thought those were store bought! Gorgeous card!
