Hope you are all well. One more work day and then it's the weekend. Mind you they are talking about a lot of snow over large parts of the UK tomorrow and the weekend. I do hope not as I am driving up north tomorrow to pick my daughter up from university. She is starting five weeks of study leave before her final exams in May. As she said, she might as well be at home studying cause at least she will be fed well lol.
Anyway, I want to share a card with you today that I made for my Sister to give my Mum for her birthday. It was her birthday on Monday so had to make sure she had received it before I blogged it.
Be prepared as it is quite bright and you may need your sunglasses, although it does look much brighter in real life.
I have not used any patterned paper on this card. I have used two colours of coredinations - orange and yellow. I embossed some white card with a large dotty folder and inked the edges with some distress ink. The little flower stamp was a freebie that I got not long ago from a magazine. I stamped the image several times and decoupaged the vase and some of the flowers for dimension. Added a big double bow at the bottom using orange and yellow ribbon. The little flowers are from Wild Orchid and matched perfectly. Made a little tag sentiment to finish it off.
I am pleased to say that Mum loved it. Thanks for popping by and will be interested to hear what you think.
