One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Card Concept # 2

I was low on thank you cards, so I thought I would do one more for this challenge. 
Again I used the canvas Impression Plate for texture.
The flower is from PTI Flower Garden.
I cut the angle myself...no die,
and added a strip of Pure Poppy striped pattern paper.
the 'thanks' is from Embroidered Blooms.
You can go HERE to play along.

I love the way the red flower pops against that muted background. Great way to use some subtle texture!

First of all, I love your blog header! So true....one smile can light up the world!

And...your card did just that - made me smile! Awesome job on the freehand angle cut! Perfect selection of colors based on the inspiration photo! The bright pops of color in the flower balance the bold font and color of your sentiment!

Thanks for sharing your card with us this week at the Card Concept Challenge! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to your blog :)
