Today I am sharing a card I created with the brand new Sweet Pea Flowers! I love how they drop down in a big beautiful burst of petals. In the morning, their tiny cups fill with dew and drip down for all the woodland creatures to enjoy!

I knew I wanted to use foam pop dots in order to add more dimension to the card, but I had to figure out a way to be able to piece the tiny petals of the flowers in place without falling out. So I cut a fan-shaped piece of card stock stock out and glued it to the back of the flower heads.

Once the petals were all glued in place, I added the foam pop dots and then glued the flower to my card base.

Then I added Mushrooms and Toadstools, and a few forest friends from Bellina Corner, Serene Rabbit and Bunny Hop. There’s another little surprise too, a Magnificent Mini Faerie! She’s part of our new May release too.

How would you like to add the Sweet Pea Flowers to your collection? Just leave a comment on this post for an opportunity to win!

Thanks so much for joining me today!
