The French do not really give cards....but I'm not French, any excuse eh?
My 86 year old very sprightly neighbour has just had a minor operation, so I made this 'get well soon' card for her today.
The flower was my first attempt at singeing the edges of petals.
The background paper is a peice of handmade covered with a kind of nylon netting with yellow dots which I also used to make the flower.
This time with the embossing I placed it in reverse, coloured lightly with a bit of ordinary chalk.
This sits on top of screwed up and inked green tissue paper which was too bright so I toned it down with some white ink.
I used these pale green colours as they are easy on the eye..she had an eye op, and because it reflects the springtime.
I made an envelope for it, which turned out nothing like the card! Oh well. Photos of the envelope in my album.
