Susan, who blogs at humblethreads loved the idea of decorating greeting cards with crocheted flowers from Crochet Bouquet!
She made this one as a thank-you note for her daughter’s swimming teacher. She crocheted “Petal Arches,” “Large Fancy Five,” “Small One-Row Leaf,” and a couple of “Millefiori” from embroidery floss. Floss is a great choice for such small motifs, because of its wide range of colors.
After experimenting quite a bit, Susan settled on this attractive arrangement. On the inside of the card, she stamped “Thank You” with a rubber stamp from Michaels.
Susan has several other creative projects in the queue, including a crocheted flower bouquet, which she will put into a beautiful carved frame, and a bulletin board ‘picture’ which features changing combinations of flowers around the edge.
