Focus Group Submission-Valentines Card for my DH

Crop Chocolate is running another focus group tryouts and here was the sketch we were given.

I tried to tear the paper and even had great plans to roll the edges a little bit but it just didn't work out.  So I used my punch around the page set from Martha Stewart as the border instead of tearing the paper and went from there.  The flower was based on a Jen Lowe tutorial I found here Flower Tutorial, I took a corsage pin added some beads and it came together from there.

Pretty Pins !!!

I love the long pins that are decorated with beads, they look so lovely on cards.  I thought it would be nice to make some of my own.  I bought corsage pins from the floral section at the craft store and added my own beads.  I made a little match box cover and put the pins inside.  I am making them for a friend who loves the color purple and hopefully she loves them as much as I love making them.
