Wild Flowers


Hi, over at CD Sunday Challenges they have a super current challenge
Wild Flowers.
I adore wild flowers,  I would love to see them in my kitchen but of course 
now I am aware it is better for them to stay where nature  intends them to be -
wherever they are growing.
One of the prettiest CDs I have is 
A Walk in the Countryside - artwork by Betty Davies
CD from Creative Crafting World.
I made the small gift bag from a template sheet.
The 6 inch square card has been matted onto gold mirri.
Papers all from the above CD. I decoupaged the ribbon. 
Added a greeting and 3 red card candi. 
With only one more sheet of paper from the CD, I made
an 8 inch card - here are the 3 completed projects.
