I love this new set from Gina K Designs! I have a dear friend who's been undergoing a lot of tests lately, and the outcome is not looking good. So, I thought I'd send her a bright, cheerful card to let her know I'm thinking of her. This was the perfect sketch for these flowers! Thanks Roxie!
The "brads" are really just 1/8" circles punched from Pacific Point card stock, and covered in Crystal Effects. The flower centers are covered in Stickles for a little sparkle.
I made a mask for the flowers, and then went to town adding more. Would you believe I watercolored the flowers and THEN the background?! What a ninny! That was sooo not fun to try and get in between all those petals without making them bleed into the background...ugh! Some days...

The card looks perfect for your friend - bright and uplifting. I like the shading from dark to light on the flower petals. That was some mask to make!!
