I am hosting this week's High Hopes challenge, and the challenge topic is Grow Garden Grow! For my project, I chose to use the cute flower seed packet image.
I stamped the seed packet image on cardstock and colored it up using Touch Twin markers. I added the "Friendship" and "Seeds" words to the packet using stamps that coordinate with the seed packet image.
Using an Xacto knife, I cut out the center window of the stamped image. I folded the packet into an actual "packet", slipped in a store-bought package of sunflower seeds for planting. The image of the girl and sunflowers is on the actual sunflower seed packet that's showing through the cut out window of the stamped image. Once the sunflower seed packet was inside, I lightly sealed up the packet I made and set it on the front of the card. I wrapped some garden twine around to keep the packet in place. I think this will make a cute little note card for a friend. Not only a nice little "hello", but seeds to plant in her garden, too!

Anna, For some reason I wasn't getting your posts and wondered what had happened to you. I went in to Feed Blitz and updated my email subscriptions so now you are showing up again.
This is a darling card & very cheery.
