The teapotters are sending cards to Waltraud who had a stroke and was home from the hospital but then had some mini ones so back to the hospital for 3-4 months. She needs some color to brighten up her hospital room. No tv due to covid, no pictures on the walls apparently. How dreadful! Jacqueline is our hostess and wanted to see colorful backgrounds for some flowers as Waltraud loves flowers. I had a 2nd embossed piece from last week's FS. This time I sponged twisted citron all over it and rubbed paper towel over it to bring out the white embossing. I then punched daisies from a salty ocean sponged piece of bristol. 2 large and 1 small for each bloom. 3 medium punches for the small one. Curled a bit with my bone folder. I embossed some vellum with copper and diecut it. If you lightly sponge tombow multi in a thin layer all over the back of the vellum, it will not show any glue. Daisies are adhered with thick dimensionals. I used the perennial flower punch to make some leaves. Happy to get a card made to send over the pond to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island- I am just a ferry ride away around 3 hours to get there.

Well, daisies always make me smile, but I have to say blue daisies are making me grin broadly. These are fun and fabulous. And, I love the floral bg. Both the color and design are perfect to show off your wonderful bouquet. And, thanks for the tip for adhering velum. Always looking for ideas on that one. Fabulous card.

Shirl, this is gorgeous! I love your background, and how your punched and layered flowers echo the shapes in that lovely background! A perfect card to cheer our recipient this week!

These flowers totally pop against that background. Love how big they are too. She is going to love this, Shirl. Hugz
