Feel Good Flowers

Greetings to you all  from the evening of a beautiful sunny spring day here in the Antipodes.

I have another friend who also has limited sight, so this is why this card is so bright and full of texture, so she can experience it with more than one sense.


I also went for strong contrasting colours in the hopes she can see some of it.

The green card is very bright IRL, and I ran it through the Cuttlebug in the Oriental Weave folder.


The flowers are some from a pack I bought this morning at the local Warehouse (similar to K Mart/Michaels), and to add to the contrast I layered them and place a Kaiser half pearl in the centres.  The curls are simply fine strips of dark green card rolled around a paint brush handle.


The sentiment was embossed in gold and double mounted, with the corners rounded to soften the appearance.

I am linking this to:


Thank you for visiting - may your day be blessed.
