Here is another card for my first Workshop....what do you think!?!? I have used the Layers of Color; http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
set Polka Dot Love and Dotted Delights to create this card. Having done a Christmas card (which you can see in the posts below this one!) and a birthday card that I am yet to post, I thought this one would be a general one, I do try and do that with some of my cards, especially when they are for the boutiques that buy my cards, it doesn't limit them to one occasion.
I stamped the bird image on the Nestibilities 1 Label, which belongs to the neighbour - I am happy to say that I have some Nesties winging their way to me now, thanks to Laura of Layers of Color organising them for me - thank you Laura, I can hardly wait to use them...look out Postman! LOL! Ooops, back to business...I sponged around the edges and layered it onto a bigger Nestie.
I have used a double sided DP, cutting it two thirds of the way down and using both side - don't you just love that - the colours match perfectly. I have decided on a monochromatic card with this one and I L-O-V-E this green DP. I adhered some green ribbon which is part of my gorgeous RAK from Sabrina (aka okimom2girlz) to a strip of CS and taped this across the join of the DPs. The Nestie is attached into the CS then I have added some 'Polka Dot' flowers, which I have stamped and cut out layering and pinching the petals to make them 3D. The middle of the flowers are also stamped, punched and added with a dimensional....now you may have noticed that the flower in the middle is not stamped...LOL...I have added a butterfly embellishment and finished off with those gorgeous swirls from the EK punch.
So there you have it - thank you for looking and I would really appreciate your feedback on these cards for the Workshop...be honest with me now!!
I nearly forgot to mention that this card is for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge: http://flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/
with no colouring , I have found this easier than I first thought I would!
Thank you for stopping by and for the sweet comments you leave me - It is Saturday night here and tomorrow is Father's Day here- so I have a bit of preparation to do - gotta make the man his favourite Lemon Meringue Pie!

Ohhhh Linda, I'm with your DH, my favorite is Lemon pie too. I have to admit though, I make the lemon part and leave off the marangue because I think it's a whole lot of bother for something that doesn't really taste like anything. I do so love this card too! No coloring??? Wow! Happy Father's Day to your DH.

Lemon Meringue Pie! Forgive me, but I lost track of where I was after reading that! Did the Lolly Man leave any for friends, or could you make another for those who pop by?
Beautiful card Linda, love how you bent the flowers a tad to give them life. Your charm is beautiful. OK, any more Lemon Meringue Pie? LYMI
