K. Werner Color Inspiration #56
Love the colors in this week's Color Inspiration challenge and thought they'd look great paired up with some kraft paper. I haven't done much card-making in a while - so these fun colors really helped me get out of my slump!
I have been crocheting some dishcloths recently for our kitchen (to replace some pretty shabby ones that I bought at the Dollar Store, like, a year ago). So when Nichole Heady gave a pattern for and demonstrated how to make these adorable crocheted flowers out of embroidery floss, I knew they were right up my alley! I had TONS of beautiful embroidery floss already, but I did have to pick up a tiny crochet hook at Walmart, since none of mine were small enough to work with the embroidery floss.
Thanks for looking! And OH, I just noticed that I need to change my blog banner in a bad way. It's definitely not winter here any longer! I'm sitting here, sweating! I'll add that to the list!

This card is GORGEOUS! I love it! My favorite one I have seen so far! Love it :).
this came out great!
I also tried my hand at the crochet flowers when I saw Nicole's tutorial. I haven't crocheted since I was about 14 years old, but it came right back.
we should get together soon!
I NEVER figured out how to make the flowers! I'm a knitter and never learned how to crochet. I'm jealous! Your card is great! I love how you used the different colored letters.
Fun fun!! I used a crochet flower too... I didn't make it though, I wish. I did try but uhmmm... not great! I should check out Nichol's tut!
I so love this card's simplicity!
Beautiful card! I love the flower, I wish I knew how to crochet!
Oh my goodness, that is a sweet card! Congratulations on being in the ROUND UP!
So pretty! Love the flower, too!
Cute cute cute!
I love the clean and simple look of your card. Congrats on Kristina's Round Up!
Your embroidered flower is gorgeous. What size of needle did you use? As a kid, I used to know how to crochet (basic stuff). I wanted to try Nichole's tutorial, but I haven't made time.
What a simply elegant card! Love it. TFS.
Gorgeous flower! I love your card and congrats on the top 20! :)
