I was so excited when Karen asked me to be the In Bloom guest artist. I adore springtime flowers! Each month we invite a guest artist to take the monthly card kit and create cards that are a little more “involved” than those made using Tricia’s instructions.

I was able to make twelve cards and a lovely stitched album with the Card kit, Stamps, and a few items from my stash.
