I'm quietly doing quite well with my not-really-a-resolution-just-a-good-idea to use some of the many beautiful things hoarded in my craft stash. And today over at the Calico Craft Parts blog you can see the not-resolution in action again.
I am a sucker for flowers and berries and, in addition, I do love looking at those extravagant cards and layouts laden with all sorts of things. A quick look at the "cards I love" on my Pinterest board will tell you I have a secret hankering for that very pretty look (as well as revealing some of the influences on today's piece)... and that's what I've been playing with, along with some Calico Craft Parts flourishes. I hope you'll have time to hop over to Calico and see what I mean. I think you might enjoy it... I certainly did!
Flowers really do intoxicate me.

Just spent an hour looking at your closeups! I could just sit and stare all day, but I must be off to work! I left you a wordy comment at CC. Hugs!
Wow stunning shabby chic piece. Love the amount of stuff but doesn't look cluttered which I reckon is because of the white flowers to rest your eyes on. Beautiful :-) Kezzy xxx
