So let's get the party started with two wonderful cards from Petaloo DT member ... 

EVA DOBILAS

Hello, this is Eva continuing our week of Grads and Dads celebration in collaboration with Quick Quotes.  I have a couple of cards to share with you using their Calypso collection together with our Burlap flowers.  I have to tell you I am head over heels in love with this collection!!!!  :)

Here is my first card, which could be a great gift to a Grad any day.

For this card I dry embossed the yellow paper to add more texture to it and went over it with the Blue Jeans ink pad by Quick Quotes.  I love these ink pads for sure.  I also die cut a flourish by My Favorite Things and tucked the sentiment label in it and added my pretty little Burlap  flowers and butterfly.  I think it turned out pretty sweet.

My second card is for the Dads in your life.  On this card once again I dry embossed the yellow paper to add more of a manly look to it and die cut a couple of stars and a fish tail using My Favorite Things dies.

I added the sentiment label onto the fish tail and tied around it with our blue trim and I finally I tucked the stars in and topped them with our pretty flowers and a ticket sticker.

The last thing I added was a pretty green brad to my fishtail, as I thought it just finished it off really nicely.

Well, I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I do and get to create something soon with our pretty flowers and accessories!  For now here is the Petaloo supply list I used to create these cards:

Burlap Blossoms x 10 - Apricot

Burlap Blossoms x 10 - Ivory

Trim Asst - Shades of Blue

Brad Asst x 20 - Shades of Green
