Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have just got the Potted Geraniums Bundle…….. yes I know, I’m very late to the party. This is the first card I have made using it.

Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
