Hi! This card was made for today's Clean And Simple Card Challenge: Hey, Hey, It's Your Birthday! I wanted to make a very "PRETTY" flowery card for our 97 year old neighbor. She "gardens" everyday. And, she once commented that she would rather receive a "flower card" from me than get a "store bought gift!" I think she's WONDERFUL, and Markie and Speedy ADORE her!
I decided to go with a VERY simple layout of just a few layers with a small border and a strip of dp across the bottom.
The image was embossed in white and colored with Copics.
Well...I'm off to bed...I have surgery in the morning...I think I see more of the Out Patient Clinic at Mayo than my doctor....The nurses all know my NAME! YIKES!

17 minutes? You're incredible. It would take me 17 minutes to cut out the flower. This is such a beautiful card. I love the CAS look. Thinking of you for your surgery.
