These are GORGEOUS! I love the flower, paper and quote from the first one! I love that you used a flower from a shirt, how fabulous! The doily frame and sentiment on the second one are fabulous! The flower looks great too!

Your handmade flowers are so perfectly scrumptious!! What a fabulous idea "upcycling." Gee, I wish I could find such terrific finds at my local thrift store! Your cards are such lovely takes on the inspiration piece!! I loved those prints as wel!
