There are some pretty fabby things coming up at TCM

and you won't want to miss anything!

This month's theme is:  FLOWERS

I pulled out a design I created about a year ago when the set

'Beautiful Spring' was introduced.  I love how simple it is

and couldn't help but use it again.

Here is the original design created for Mother's Day 2012.

This time, I paired it with the sentiment from the 'Rejoice' set.

I used the Sizzix 'Wreath' embossing folder for my base.

I simply stamped the flower image on three different paper from

Prima and cut them out in layers.  I added a beautiful gem flourish

and pearls from Zva Creative to complete the look.

I thought this was a great color combo for this week's challenge over at

The next stop on the hop is my friend & TCM Illustrator
