Just A Note
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of Pixie Sparkled card from my stash. I used Groovy Grape and Teal Marine Pixie Sparkles on this one. I cut the Flower Pot out of Papyrus card twice. I cut the top of the pot off on one of them. Using Gathered Twigs distress ink, I sponged the edges of the pot and the top. I added mounting foam to the top of the pot and added it onto the other pot die cut. I used a white pencil and shaded then centre of the pot. Next I cut the Layered Iris with Wisteria and Iris card. I cut the leaves and stems out of two shades of green an assembled them. I arranged all the stems, buds and flowers and glued them in place as if they were planted in the pot. I cut the Noble Just A Note in black and glued it above the Iris. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hello Sue Your flowers are amazing they look so real. The background and sentiment add to the card Yvonne you are so right this card would certainly standout in a hospital. Take care everyone x
Oh Sue this is just adorable, I quickly skipped through the days I missed and for some reason I had the biggest lump in my throat, I'm so extra sensitive when I'm not 100% anyone else a total tearful mess at the slightest thing lol, I think the messages upset me too. I agree with the other girls, this would certainly stand out amongst all other cards on a ward and bring much attention to its delightful beauty. I have so much to enjoy here today, looking at all the new designs and dies. 3 weeks of sheer beauty. Thanks to all that left a message over the past few days. You are all as special as this loving caring blog. Love to you all xxx
Morning Sue and all - this is absolutely stunning! I am totally in love with your new layered flowers collection, and very much hope that you have more flowers to add in later releases - I will keep everything crossed! Colleen xx

Hi Sue From the gorgeous pixied background to the beautifully shaded flowerpot, your card is a work of art. The flowerpot is now part of my collection but I’ll never be able to make it look as good as yours
Hi Sue, I love this card, it is one of the ones that convinced me that I needed the layered flowers and the flowerpot and I have been practising my colouring and shading :-)
Good Afternoon Sue and all who visit this lovely place.. A lovely card and it reminds me of a painting rather than a greeting card. Either displayed on a shelf or hung on the wall it's beautiful. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA very striking card. As others have said it is much more than a card and would perfectly adorn any wall. Love how you’ve shaded the plant pot too.
