I needed a card to take into a secretary at my son's soon-to-be, in the fall kindergarten school. Why, you ask? Because my two year old knocked over and broke one of her jars the last time we were there filling out paperwork. Not the best first impression, so I wanted to be sure to redeem myself!
Not really knowing this person I played it safe using some pretty flowers and a simple layout. I used Delightful Dahlias for the blooms, which I stamped twice and cut out one set after coloring to pop up. The beautiful sentiment comes from Waltzingmouse Stamp's Say it with Style.
And I included a gift box with chocolates!
Thanks for coming by!

gorgeous!!!!! and smart thinking to butter up the secretary!
Beautiful card. Great coloring. I'm sure she will forget about the broken jar when she sees this card!
That beautiful card would do the job for me! Well, the chocolates would help, too. Love the card and the sentiment is just perfect. Don't you love how your children seem to change your plans for an outstanding first impression? Gotta love em, though. They keep us humble. The card will go a long way to change any bad impression she may have formed. Love it!
Wow! This is so pretty!
Fabulous! Wonderful job!
Very beautiful! I'm sure she'll appreciate your thoughtfulness Melissa.
So pretty, your coloring is perfect and the colors are perfect.
wow, she will love it!!! I'm sure she was won over, the card is stunning!
I would definitely call that redeeming yourself!! Beautiful card, Melissa!
As a teacher I can tell you for sure that the secretaries have all the real power. Stay on their good side. Gorgeous card!
LOL, if this doesn't work, nothing will, it's gorgeous Melissa!!
Oh I love this....... can you pm with the colors you used on your DD?? I am putting an order together and that is the exact shade I have been wanting for my DD's?? I cannot make up my mind which to get based on what they look like online!!!
Beautiful!! You did a great job, those flowers look so soft and lovely!!
Your flowers looks amazing Melissa. You could really teach me a thing or two! (please?) I like the sentiment too, different but totally needed sometimes. I'm sure if she's a teacher, she'll understand, but your gesture is very appropriate.
This is really gorgeous Melissa! I love the flowers, they are really great, super coloring! You will definitely be back in her good graces with that card:)!
Your card is lovely Melissa. I'm sure she'll totally accept your appology. Besides, who can stay mad at a 2year old bearing gifts of chocolate. :)
Love the coloring on this card very beautiful! TFS :0
I bet she loves you now!

Whoops! Well at least your son's little faux pas gave you an excuse to get inky eh?! LOL!
A gorgeous card! I bet she'll really appreciate it!
