Card Salute To Harry Potter

Could not resist making a set of cards celebrating the release of the new Harry Potter movie.
You would have to be a real fan of the books and movies to get these little jokes, but here is a little explanation:

Keep Calm and Wingardium Leviosa ( Keep calm and make the object fly.)
Keep Calm and Expecto Patronum (Keep calm and conjure up your patronum.)
Keep Calm and Evanesco (Keep calm and make it vanish)

This flower is so late. Why or how it managed to bloom this week I do not know. I half expect to see it growing out of a pile of snow, it's been that cold every morning. But, better late than never I guess. I have a lot on my plate this weekend and the sooner I get to it the better. Here are my fantastic Saturday crafty blogger links.
