Refresh your Pick A Petals card

Thank you for swapping with me! I am looking forward to getting your cards from AJ!
If you were in the SCS Fall/Winter Preview Swap, Group 5, you received a "Pick A Petal" card that looks like this:

If your petals got squashed down during mailing, then simply curl the petals under with your fingertips like this:

Your petals will curl under to look like this:

Some have asked how I stamped "Cherish" across the middle of the flowers. The "Cherish" stamp is from Baroque Motifs stamp set. I colored each letter individually in Chocolate Chip Marker and stamped them one at a time in an arch. So color in "C" and stamp... clean the stamp... ink up "h", stamp, clean... ink up "e"... etc.

Post all questions and comments here and I will get back to you asap.
