Inspired by a Friend

When I saw this post by my friend Debbie on her blog The Paper Garden, I immediately went to work on this card. What makes this card so special is that way before these little crochet flowers were popular Debbie sent me a little bag of them that her Grandma had made. I have held onto them for quite some time as they were a special treat. Thanks again Debbie!
The base cardstock is Bazzill and the prints used are from the Basic Grey Porcelain collection. I stamped part of the Penny Black sentiment for the outside and the rest of it for the inside. I ever so lightly dabbed a bit of Butterscotch Adirondack ink on the flower to help it blend with the paper. I stamped the sentiment in Mountain Rose Adirondack ink. The ribbon is from PTI.
Hugs to all,

Oh my goodness girl! You are going to make me cry! I LOVE your card! Aren't those little flowers precious?! I still have many of them. G'ma could have been famous making these! and she is famous in my eyes.

Your card is beautiful. Thank you my friend!

I love it when there's a special story behind a card. It makes it even more extra special. Thank you for sharing your story and beautiful card.

Love the story behind the flowers. Doesn't surprise me that they are from Debbie :-) She has always been ahead of "the times". Blessings to all!
