White Flowers

Welcome

Today's card was made for a friend who is turning 89 this shortly, and is unfortunately suffering from Macular Degeneration, which limits her sight, hence the high contrast of  the white die cut over the bright background.


The background was made with brushos, using some gold SprinkleIT  for some sparkle

The sentiment was simply stamped with Peeled Paint DI, hand cut into a banner and mounted, offset, over a snippet of  gold sparkle card


As the die cut was smaller than our standard card size, I added a wee gold ribbon and bow to the base of the card, and also a few gold sequins for some wee accents


The inside I finished with some twill ribbon, which covered the ends of the gold ribbon. A scripture stamped in the same green ink,  from the Grace so Amazing set by Sweet 'n' Sassy stamps was stamped on a white snippet and then trimmed and added to the top panel of the tent opening card.


The bottom panel was white, and I left it plain so I could write with a thick nibbed Sharpie on it.

What a great idea for someone with that disease! Love the card too. My brother in law also has that same disease. Not a good thing to have.

What a lovely card for someone who is partially sighted. Not only will the contrast between the background and the image be good for her but she will be able to feel the raised flowers in the diecut. Brilliant!
Gd Bless, Neet xx
