Used one of the new Build a Blossom flowers I also got this week cherry blossom this one. embossed with budding vine folder added some borders and ruffeled ribbon on the steps and a few pearls. Find these hard to photograph though but quite pleased with the result just have to work out where to put the verse now.:0)
