Welcome
This card started as a background that I made from Brushos while experimenting with their SprinkleITs - this one used an iridescent one.
The friend I made the card for is a keen gardener and amateur florist, so I chose a botanical theme
I was able to find some card that matched the brusho colours, as did the chiffon ribbon.
The wee floral images were from a Kaisercraft 6x6 pad called Rose Avenue
You can see some of the subtle glimmer in this photo - it is notoriously difficult to photograph.
The greeting is from the same pad - I edged them all with Memento Rhubarb ink
I used another of the pop outs from the same pad for the inside sentiment

This was made for a very dear friend

wow how gorgeous and love the experiment working out. Your friend sounds like a gardener like me, many of us around. Pretty paper pad.xx
Awesome card, Maxine - the splotchy background looks fabulous!
What a beautiful card, Maxine, with no stamps. What a great idea to use images from a paper for the card. Very inspiring idea. And I love the Brusho's background. I think I will have to start using more often my Brushos. Hugs, my dear friend.
A perfect card for a gardener Maxine and I always love Brushos, you never know what you are going to end up with but it's always pretty.

This is beautiful, Maxine. Love the background, I enjoy using brushos too and the pretty colours I am sure your friend will be delighted. Happy and Healthy New Year!! x
Love Brushos and you use them so well.
How fortunate that you found some cardstock and some ribbon to match perfectly, mirror I would say, the colours you have used. A lovely card.
Hugs, Neet xx

This is super sweet Maxine! I love the fresh clean look of it. Your friend is going to love it.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful.
Hehehe, that title made me smile! Gorgeous fun creative adventure and no stamps?!! Wanted to swing in and wish you a wonderful 2020 before we're too far into it! It's been a crazy busy start for me but I'm excited by what this year holds. Thought of you at Christmas as I know there will have been a distinct 'absence' there for you and my heart was with you. Sending loads of good wishes for a wonderful year ahead. Hugs, Wends xoxo
Hi Maxine, a super card, love the sparkle you were able to capture in the photo, I never really know what to do with all those bits in the back of the Kaisercraft paper pads, sentiments and pretty edges I use but some of the others just remain behind, thank you for the inspiration.., have a wonderful week...
