Colorful Layered Flowers

Good afternoon friends... All I can say is I'm glad Blogger is back up online again and that our content is returning.  I was so nervous for awhile! ;{

I have a few cards to share with you today, and here's the first of the lot.  We'll see how many I can get to before the babies wake up.... And we'll just forget for awhile that I really SHOULD be doing laundry...  ;)

Here are the challenges... 9 total I think...  Most are Flower themes though;

I think we must all have garden fever.

I do apologize for the lighting as it's been a bit gray here of late.  It is so irritating for photography.

I have, in fact, been focusing hard in my crafting on using up what I have.  I have so many partial packages that it's not EVEN funny.  The alphabets are the worst though.  This card uses up some old chipboard flowers I had found on clearance, some glitter glue and paper flowers, as well as jumbo pebble brads.  I love the look of pebble brads but it takes a particular kind of card to pull them off, I think.  At least for me.  What do you think?

And the inside:
