Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple

Botanicals Theme with Fern & Flora!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week. This is our new theme for the month of May:

I let the Moonlit Flora Designer Paper do all of the work for me this week. The prints on the designer paper and dry embossing on the cardstock looks so good when paired together:

I also love the luna moth on one of the patterned sheets. I’m lucky to almost always spy a luna month on my property at least once a year during the summer months. It’s sad that they only live for 7-10 days. These creatures are beautiful in person!
