Blue Flowers

I have had this A Million Thanks clear set with this pretty flower for awhile, and have not used it enough, so I tried to think of a different way to use it. So I stamped, colored, cut out the flowers and leaves and added them to the corner of the Scroll Label stamped in green ink.

I thought it might look nice with a blue frame to help bring out the blue flowers, so this time I trimmed the Scroll Frame close to its edges and put that panel on periwinkle cardstock. I also lightly stamped Old Letter Writing in the center first, and added some tiny blue pearls.
For supply list, see my Flickr photostream.
