Hugs



     Welcome back!  This is the second week of our Red, White and Blue or Patriotic challenge with Shining the Light at Our Daily Bread Designs.
Linda Carson, ODBD
     This is such a fun challenge.  For today's card I started with the beautiful blue paper from the Christian Faith Collection.   I used it on the Decorative Vase die as well as the background.  Vintage Flourish Pattern die sits on top of the blue background.  Love that die cut....a "must" have! 
     The flowers were made with the Asters and Leaves dies using a heavy mulberry paper.  If you look closely you'll see a couple of blue leaves from the red flower.  The final touch is the Pennants Alphabets and Pennant dies offering huge hugs. 
     You'll want to see more creative inspiration by visiting my design team sisters:

  2. Love your asters and pennants - what a great idea to shorten the length! And I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet up with you in FS! We ended up going to Dallas for a few days and the week just flew by - not enough sleeping and too much eating.
