Here's the inside:
I've had these Prima poinsettia flowers for a while, and I've used one or two before. It was great to use three more of them. Oh! See the centers? Get this: those are gold glitter brads inside a flocked flower shaped brad! I know, right?! The flower brads have a small hole in the centers, so I thought, why not put another brad in there? It worked! Then I added some enamel dots around the flowers. I was going to put the sentiment on the front, but I just decided to leave. it. be. I like how the flowers take center stage on the front and didn't want to take away from them. I just added the sentiment on the inside. Easy peasy!
Challenges:
Well, that's all for now. Got to go get ready for the day. The hubby and I are going to a Caribbean themed wine festival today! Can't wait! Have a great day!
