Hello! Welcome to the JustRite Mega March Blog Hop!
Edit to answer a few questions:
1) The "object" that I use to hold my card in the photograph is a floral frog. If you google it, you will find some sources. I bought mine on eBay.
2) Yes, it can cost more to mail a card with layers and embellishments. For this one, I might even consider hand-delivering! Normally, though, I mail my cards in a bubble envelope so that the embellishments don't get squished. I also have a small scale and weigh my card if there is any doubt that it is over 1 ounce.
3) My blog header is a photo that I took last year in Crater Lake, Oregon (the water is really that blue!).
For my creation, I stamped the Poppy from Plant a Little Love twice, colored with Copic markers, then I cut out parts of the flowers and popped them on top for some dimension. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the center of the large flower. Then I cut out the entire bouquet and popped it onto my partial circle. My sentiment is from Joyful Hearts, which I was happy to see it fit perfectly on my Spellbinders Labels Ten Nestabilities as well as into the Oval Nestabilities. It reads, "Friends are flowers in the garden of life".
To ensure that I could fit both an image and sentiment on the front of my card, I adapted the Mojo Monday 130 sketch and made a 4.75" square card.
