Okay, I want you to guess what my inspiration was for this card. I'll give you a hint… look up at the top part of your monitor… do you see it? Okay, look up one more time… its my blog header and sidebar pretties. lol
Here's my Punch Art Flowers card…
Did you notice my colors in my pictures… they are the actual colors of the card. I am so proud. I actually read, not skimmed my camera manual. Low light conditions in my camera equal the Museum Setting. Then after I selected Museum, it let me choose the light bulbs I have in my studio. Who'd of thought. I don't even need sunshine coming thru my window. I decided to buy a new camera, then I thought no, lets read the manual one more time. So like a man, when all else fails read, don't skim.
I hope my card inspires you today. Here's the supplies if you'd like to create one like it.

You are really amazing - this is beyond gorgeous - I don't know how you do it! And maybe I had better read my camera manual as well :)
Carla - there is no one quite like you when it comes to creating beautiful punched flowers. Your card is gorgeous. The layout is lovely and does look very much like your banner - but it has so much more depth & texture. You have amazing fingers my friend!
Holy Moly, is this UNBELIEVABLE?! You are amazing and truly the most incredible paper crafter, Carla! XOXO

Hi Carla,
Wow this card is a show-stopper, love all those teeny tiny flowers oh my the work involved, but oh so lovely. Congrat's too on your picture taking, if only we'd all read the directions, right? Great attention to detail once again, love the butterfly's body too.
Gorgeous card!
Carla, your cards take my breath away........these flowers are just gorgeous and the arrangement is so pretty!
OMG!! What can I add to all these comments! You are a true artist Carla and I'm dead jealous!!! (Only kiddin'). I AM envious though! Fabulous work and I would like you to adopt me please, so I can learn some of your fabulous craft.
P.S. That punch is a stamen. :)xxx
What a Stunning card Carla! You really hit this one out of the Park!!!! Just Stunning my friend
Phew! Bet it took Hours to make! Now you need to put it in a shadow box to save, this is absolutely beautiful and should be very important to you!
Gorgeous card! Colorful flowers, some greens, the scissor,... wow!!
If I were the recipient of this card I'd frame it and keep it forever and count myself so lucky to have such an artiste as a friend! You really are amazing - and you must have the patience of Job! I am going to try to make this one for a friend who is going through a lot right now - hopefully it turns out even half as beautiful as yours!
Hey Carla, Just thinking of you and realized that you haven't posted in a while. Hope all is well and you are just busy like I am. LOL.
