Graphics, Flowers, and Gold

Good morning all!  I'm looking forward to a great Thursday:)  We'e going to get up to 60 today, the flowers are blooming, and I'm relieved that Winter is finally retreating!  Feels good!  Here's a little card to say "Hello" to Spring!


I pulled out some of my favorite Avery Elle sets for this one (Petals and Stems, Rounded Diamonds, and Laurels)!  In my mind, you can never go wrong with a bold graphic, bright flower, and a touch of gold.  I stamped and die cut my flower (added a bit of shading with my Copics).  Then I stamped the bold graphic background, slightly offset.  Then the sentiment.  And lastly a good sprinkling of hexagon glitter (from Michael's, if you're wondering).  For the glitter, I used a glue pen and just randomly dotted around and sprinkled the glitter over.  Whatever stuck, stuck!  


Until next time!  Have a wonderful rest of the week:)  

Mahalo and Aloha,
jj

  14. Everyone knows someone who is unwell for one reason or other, some might just feel under the weather whilst others are critical. University research has proved that plants and flowers create a positive impact on our mental and emotional health particularly by lifting anxiety and depression when flowers are put in the room. It's also been shown that when a basket of flowers or plants are present patients have needed less pain medication had lower blood pressure in addition to their recovery was noticeably quicker. Give it that personal touch and order flowers online today to let them know you are thinking of them. florarie online cluj
