I have been playing all week making little mums that I learned from the wonderful tutorials by Jerri Kay - you can look at them along with her wonderful creations at:
I needed to make a humorous birthday card for a girl at work who looks stunning but just became a grandmother. I used one of the mums on this card so I could hide the fact that I didn't stamp the legs on the image. Isn't that mum cool? Inside it is a Rubber Romance image of a woman shopping for shoes and it says " unless we are talking about a true Diva like you. Happy Birthday - it looks good on you."
PT - I used 7 punches and dies to make the flower and foliage. I think I punched 15 times.

What a great card for the new fab looking grandmother. I will have to check out the tutorial on that wonderful mum. I've been making a few flowers lately, but not that one. Thanks for the tutorial.
