Welcome
I had intended to be back sooner than this, but life has been full of the unexpected this past week...
Some time ago I printed off a freebie from the Retro Cafe Art site, and this year got to use one of the last motifs on the sheet for a card.
I love this panel, but it is in colours out of my usual range, which is why I suspect it was the last one to be used.
I matched the colours for the layered flowers on the corner, securing the layers with a gold brad, and using some leaf shaped sequins for a touch of greenery.
The sentiment was stamped and gold heat embossed on the dp - a sheet from a DCWV Old World Mat Stack.
The edges of all the layers were sponged with Tea Die DI.
I used a couple of trimmings of the dp to trim the inside of the card

Very pretty Maxine. It's so good sometimes to be nudged outside our comfort zone. You should come over and place at International Art & Soul. Our theme is flowers.
What a sunny, pretty card, Maxine. I like how you matched the flowers with the panel.

The retro-café motif is certainly quite eye catching colours, and what a lovely card you have made with it. Matching it to the flowers was a great idea. I hope all is well with you this week. Love and Blessings. Kate x
