Bloom & Grow Forever

When I read the sentiment, my mind thought of Edelweiss from The Sound of Music.  My all time favorite movie.  Every year I watch it and it still moves me.  Years ago, my husband took me to see the musical with Christopher Plummer.  It was a fabulous show! 
So my card for today is a little bit vintage mixed with shabby and a dash of MOD.  I love the colors of the paper that I used but sadly can't recollect the name because I threw that part away.   The sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink.  I used a Tiffany Doodle's  image which I added punched hydrangea's  accented with  Stickle centers.  I did some distressing via a nail file and also a touch of stitching.  My tiny attacher added the piece of ribbon.  Pearls are Queen & Co. 

 
 Just realized this photo does not show the true detail of the flowers.  Bummer.  I can't go out and retake because we have awful weather here.  It's been raining something fierce.  Lots of places are flooded.  I don't even want to think about it after the tornado hit last month and did some rearranging of items on my roof and home structure, I am a little tired of mother nature. Okay, my checkbook is not liking it so much. 

It's for this week's Crafty Creations #118 challenge, flowers,  pattern paper, and a ribbon hosted by Donna. (Way to go girly!)
