Here's a couple of cards with the Flower Shop set.
The first one uses some faux flower soft in the center of the flower.
{The faux "flowersoft" is made by rubbing 2 Styrofoam balls together
and collecting the rubbings in a sandwich bag.
A couple drops of re-inker makes it any color you want.}
This one has a tiny yellow punched flower and pearl in the center.
Which do you like best?
So glad you could stop by.
Enjoy!

I can't decide which I like best. Both are stunning, and I'm loving the piercing on the mats. Terrific soft summery colors on 2 beautiful flowers and that's a great idea on the faux flower soft. I don't have a lot of success with flower soft per se!!! Happy Birthday, and hope you had just a grand day. TFS & Hugs
I heard it's your Birthday! I hope you've enjoyed the day. Your cards are very pretty, love the soft orange. Cheers, Shirleyx
Love your card and must say thank you for sharing the instructions for making faux flower soft. Have seen flower soft used on so many cards, but resisted the temptation to buy some. Will be trying this, because I love putting flowers on my cards.
These are so beautiful Bonnie, they caught my eye right away!
I like the first one better, I think its the embossing and the way the window frame is positioned.
They are both wonderful though! (and thanks for the tip on the faux flowersoft, I did not know that!)
BOTH are so beautiful Bonnie! I don't think I could pick one over the other. Love the way you did the homemade flower soft too!
And before I forget - since I did forget to send a card.......HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you had a wonderful day!

Hi Bonnie
Following Di's lead...Happy Birthday.
Two wonderful cards. I like the second one cuz I like the branches! lol
But they are both wonderful!
I can't pick a favorite. The different centers make different flowers. You always have such great embossed backgrounds. Happy Birthday, Bonnie.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONNIE love the creative cards, love them both.xxx

Beautiful cards, Bonnie! I hear it's your birthday--hope you had a lovely day!
Both cards are great! The embossed backgrounds are really cool!
Lots of love, Manuela
Both cards are pretty. Don't think I'll try making my own flower soft though - I can just see the mess I'd make!! Guess it was your birthday yesterday - so belated happy birthday hope you had a super day.
Happy birthday for yesterday Bonnie! Hope you had a lovely day! Love these fab cards too and thanks for the faux flower soft tip. Vicky x
I love them both Bonnie, but my favorite is the first one with the faux flower soft! I also wanted to come and wish you a very Happy Birthday to you!! I know I'm a little late-seems I'm a little late and a dollar short all the time. lol I hope you had a good birthday and there is nothing wrong with celebrating the whole month! Hugs, Brenda
These are two peachy-keen creations, they are both gorgeous! I wanted to say a thank you for the gorgeous birthday card, it was such a surprise to get mail from some of my MM peeps - you totally made my day you big sweetheart!
Stunning cards Bonnie and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! have a wonderful time..lots of huggles Sue xx

Belated happy birthday Bonnie, sorry I am late in visiting ur blog :(
I love these beautiful cards and more importantly the fact that I learnt about faux flower soft. Wow! That is so cool
Gorgeous cards,love that flower stamp. What a neat tip about the faux flower soft,love that tip! Thanks Bonnie!
Sorry I missed your birthday. Hope it was a great one.
Love both of these cards. The color is so pretty. I will have to try that trick for the "faux flowersoft". Thanks for the idea.
Great card! I love the faux flower soft in the center of the flower. This is going to sound ridiculous but I'm pretty sure I never thought to use flower soft on a flower before.
I was at a stamp club meeting and a lady demonstrated how to make the faux flower soft. I had to leave the room. The Styrofoam rubbing against Styrofoam sound gave me the willies! I got them all over again reading about in on your blog. *shiver*
