Limelight Project Time!

It's the 6th of the month!
...so that means...
The Limelight Papercrafts Chicks have a project to share today
and our themethis month is FLOWERS!

I turned 'flower' into TOPIARY!

Remember you can click on any pic to make it larger.

I came across this cute idea and knew I had to create it!
HERE is the tutorial. The directions for this are after the Easter Tree.

I used the Prima Sasha 5x7 pad.
LOVE this paper!
PERFECT for Spring!

The ribbon is the luxurious May Arts 1.5" Silk in Moss.

This little tag is also with the Prima Sasha papers...

...and I embellished with a Basic Grey button, a Prima Flower,
May Arts Burlap String and some fun Bazzill Parakeet Tulle!

Here are a couple more pics of different views/angles.

If you decide to give this a try... here is what the top, middle and bottom will look like before you put them together...
