Flowers for a Friend

Welcome


I needed a birthday card in a hurry, and chose to use this Katy  Sue printed sheet of images
They are pop-out images, with no white edges, which gives a stunning result.


I chose this pansy image as my friend loves pansies!


They decoupage beautifully - it's a bit fiddly, but well worth the effort. 
The only thing I added to the image was some light penciling under the vase to form a shadow to 'ground' the image.


I embossed the sentiment, a very old clear stamp, with glitter gold embossing.  
The white panel was inked with yellow around the edges


The inside panel has a strip of yellow washi tape, some of which was also added to the envelope.

Hi Maxine, I was so surprised to get your comment on my blog - it has been so very long for me to post. It really made me mist up that you took the time to compliment my tiny cards. Thank you so very much. I really like your vase of flowers, they look like they jump right off of the page! Have a beautiful day. Blessings, Barb

Hi Maxine, a stunning card, Love the pansies in so many colours. If you had not told us you added the pencil shadow I would have thought it part of the design. Have a wonderful week... Megan

I love the pansy. They are a childhood favorite with memories from my grandmother's garden. Just a fantastic image and card. Love the colors.
