Flower meadows

I have made this set of cards for my mother to give to a friend. The friend is pretty much housebound so this is a nice gift as she can't choose cards for herself. The brief was 'she likes pretty'.
All the cards are different but I used the same inks so they match as a set. 
I stamped the flowers on squares of card (snippets), rounded the corners and then inked round the edges with a silver Sharpie. I mounted each one on a square card and then decorated with a toning ribbon (all snippets). I added sentiments (snippets) on two but left two blank for any other occasion. 

Finally I made a little box to hold them all from a snippet and added another snippet of ribbon to decorate. The box looks better in real life though is not perfect.

I made a set of cards at Christmas when I wanted a present for someone which was easy to post. She did appreciate them. 
This style of card is exactly why I started stamping and I still like the look very much. Though I am happy to say I have broadened my horizons and been challenged into new styles and ideas these past couple of years mainly due to all the blogs and challenges that I spend far too much time cooing over.
So as you probably guessed I'm heading over to Pixie's Snippets Playground with these.
