French Knot Floral Thanks


Here's a card for the CAS-ual Friday's challenge to make a thank you card.



French knots for the center of the flower, and the "THANKS" sentiment for the leaf. Arrow stamps to fill the space on one side, and a bit of text on the other side of the stem.


The flower is cut from the Truth Is set, turned upside down, and the petals are spread apart to make the daisy-like flower. 

Thanks for looking!
-Kelly


Supplies used: 
stamps:  Truth Is & Big Thanks, CAS-ual Fridays; Interlocking Backdrops, Lawn Fawn
other:  book page, Spectrum Noir markers, black pen, embroidery floss

  11. French knot is something I never mastered - I remember the tortuous sessions trying to learn! But maybe I'll give them another try - they add wonderful texture to this. I also love what you did with the chevrons on the side and how they echo the curve of the stem!

  15. I truly admired the knots several times on various blogs and I really like the result. Also on your card, it gives a great effect and is a beautiful eye-catcher.
    The idea of ​​using the sentiment as a leaf is excellent!
