Hello everyone,
Well,well,well, we have AUTUMN today, cold, wet, raining, sunny!..raining, blowing AND raining..cat's on the bed, the bed is unmade and I'm getting picked up to go to a Home Show, an annual affair in Napier, I have a pay for one get one in free ticket so my daughter and I are going this year.
Onto my card, which is lime green, well, the flowers are and really quite pretty...
I made my panel for die cutting with Nuvo Shimmer powders and used this to make the coloured part of my flowers..
The base was cut in white, added the green...pretty, the leaves were matched the best I could with green cardstock and layered up...
The background paper was really busy but with the green, I think it worked..
I added another one of my beautiful shiny Bees..
The inside,as always, is decorated simply..
And there she is with her envelope....
Thank you so much for stopping by, off to find my wellies and raincoat, going to be a wet outing for sure and too cold for ice-cream...naaa!!...never too cold for ice-cream..
Luv CHRISSYxx
