OK read on!
Well here is a card with my favorite flower! Im really liking this set. Im also loving Groovy Guava! LOL! I just kept thinking about the colors of tulips and how much I love both butterflies AND tulips. This is a simple whimsical , yet elegant card.
People say I have a distinct “style” and I dont know what the name of it is-but I think this is ME! I can never tyr to be like anyone else cause thats when I struggle! So whatever you do always be true to yourself. Even with current trends. If they arent you, then just dont go there! I can’t do vintagey stuff well. So I dont really go there. I do what I love.
The tulips were stamped 3 times, and cut twice, so they appear to be “open” when you see it IRL. Lots of dimension here, which can really make a WOW! I used versamagic ink for my images. I like the rick color they give. I love that sentiment! Its how I feel about alot of my PSF’s! (pretend stamping friends) They can pick up on my mood and know just when to pop in and say hi! Its really cool.
The scallop is by SU! And yes mine is fine (so far). I love SU Stitiched ribbon too. YUMMY
I got a note home yesterday that one of Alexa’s therapists lost her mother. I made this simple understaed, yet somehow cheerful sympathy card for her. Maybe Ill make another-I dont know yet.
See – I CANT do a sympathy card without butterflies! I dont know what it is! I find them so suitable.
Anyway-the black sentiment really pops. I was going to do alot more but figured this be best left like it is. I love ONE LAYER cards! Everytime I go to Target I browse the card section, and I swear if I saw a card like this I would be like DUH? I can do that!
Its a very inspirational section. I would love to bring my camera! LOL!
Ill be picking a random card winner for my last post later today. If you get picked Ill email you for your address.
Take time to stop and smell your favorite flower.
Check in tomorrow for some amazing samples for the Dare to get Dirty week! Ill have new stuff everyday. But dont I usually?????
Thanks for checkin in

I love your tulip card. The colors are SO Yummy!
That tulip card is beautiful! And I love the sympathy card too, very elegant. I think butterflies are great for sympathy cards, they are so delicate, just like life.
I really love the tulip card! Just stunning! Wow this is a lovely sympathy card. 🙂
I happened on your creative work on SCS this AM. Your cards prove that often “less is more” ~ TFS!
Totally beautiful Lauren – both cards. If I had tried to make that same sympathy card…wouldn’t have looked as good. I wouldn’t have been able to walk away. I love it. Sorry to hear about their loss though…
My favorite flower is the gerbera daisy…it wasn’t on the list you linked, but I looked it up, it means “Daisies are a classic symbol of beauty. However, the gerbera variety holds an added meaning of cheerfulness…but the gerbera daisy and its meaning stand out as one of the most distinctly bright and merry” I don’t know, does it describe me?
Thanks for sharing with us Lauren!!!
oh, and by the way…GREAT. Now I have to get the Guava double stitched ribbon… 😉
What are the odd they don’t have my favortie flower? Stargazer Lily. I wonder what that says about me? That I’m obsure? lol. Love your cards, they are perfect!
I’ll check out what this dirty dozen thing is all about after camp drop off.
Cheers

Lauren, I think this is the prettiest I’ve seen so far with this set! I love how you did the shading. You’ve given me new ideas. Thanks!
Lovin’ the whismy! Those tulips are spectacular!
Those tulips are just Gorgeous! I love how you did the layered look to give them dimension! Very stunning!
The butterfly Sympathy card is very pretty as well. I need to make a card, and might just steal this one!
Looking forward to the DD Challenges!
the tulip card is TDF! so cute! thanks for the link to the meaning of the flowers! love groovy guava too!
Lauren, I have been away for a few days, but I am back…HOLY MOLEY!!! Your cards lately are awesome…I just love all the pinks and yellows and the tulips and butterflys…
I LOVE your “style” nobody does it better.
Lauren, That tulip & butterfly card is BY FAR the best card I have seen in SO LONG!!! Absolutely stunning! I love the colors and the layout – what genius to put the butterfly on that punch like that! The happiest part is I have *almost* all of the supplies to make one of my own! Woo! Hoo!
I’m off to Convention tomorrow, so have a great rest of the week!!
Lauren, again I am amazed at your brilliance! Great job on both these cards! I’m trying to figure out what SU colors are close to what you used…it’s so funny that you say to stop & smell your favorite flower today…I did just that! I just got back from a walk with my girls, and I had to stop & smell a rose that was so beautiful — and it smelled SOOO good too! Then I came home & here you are telling me to smell my favorite flower! We must think alike!
Sending smiles & blessings your way…
Thanks Crystal for pointing out that I didnt put down my colors! EEEK! Sorry!!!
They are saffron, guava, olive, and pomegranate!
Thanks everyone for reading!
I may just have to get this set! Beautiful cards Lauren!
All right; that does it! I’m ordering this set asap. OMG Lauren, you outdid yourself on this one. OMG!
These are gorgeous.
Oh My GOSH!!!! Those tulips are stinkin’ gorgeous! I love how you cut them out. I think I may need to put in another SU! order…. I shouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not! LOL Anyways, you’ve convinced me that I need this set!

Beautiful cards! I especially love the tulips one! Wonderful!
I stumbled upon your beautiful sympathy card on SCS and realized I hadn’t visited your blog for a few days. I LOVE your stuff — Always gorgeous! I struggle with sympathy cards and still tend to buy rather than make. Now that I’ve seen yours, I know I can make all I need (which is hopefully not too many!). TFS your wonderful creations! ~Melissa
Thank you for sharing the beautiful cards, I am going to make this and send it to a family who just lost their beautiful butterfly to Neuroblastoma…. http://www.loneliestroad.org savegrace.com Thanks
