Thank you
my blogging pals for putting up with my tiredness and my playing with different
ideas, I am so pleased you visit and leave comments.
Today’s card started with
a gift of some beautiful lace. I hope my card lives up to it to some degree. I
am always tempted to cover every little bit of my card so I grouped my flowers
into one corner perhaps a little too tightly but got close to what I was aiming
for. I was tempted to start adding butterflies and bling but I resisted.

blank is an A5 made from Centura Pearl White.
the backing paper is one of the versions of my painted background
the backing paper is one of the versions of my painted background
from a month ago – I
painted on some plain paper, painted a
variety of die cut
leaves and placed them loosely over the background,
took a photograph –
this time I printed it differently onto pearlised paper.

You clever girl, painting your own background! I was always useless at art at school. I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler. Pretty lace and the flowers are great. Christine x

Hi Flora, how sweet, I just love the painted background, one of a kind. Your card is lovely and the flowers are ok where they are they just set off thie rest of the card. No bling or butterflies, much as I like them, you have the right balance with what you have done.

Geez Flora I'm loving that beautiful background paper you made... you really put so much into your cards. I'm lovin that gorgeous lace too. Nice flower bundle in the corner!! (I'm like you... always tempted to cover up the base with bling, buttons, flowers & butterflies... glad you resisted; this is perfect just the way it is).
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Flora,
ReplyDeleteI like, I really like this piece of art. That background paper is stunning.
I have lace very similar to that must go and dig it out.
Keep well and Happy
Have a Great Day
