This is the Man card I made for Pat Smethers BD - you know she needs a fix of the MAN every once in a while, so this was perfect timing!! Because she likes to do easel cards, I decided to indulge her on that - layered the MAN up with nesties, added the ribbon, and THEN decided to stitch around the front - I STRUGGLE big time doing flowers - this one with the pearls is one of my Mom's stash, and I sponged some color onto it, then added some small roses and leaves. Used a nestie for the sentiment holder and punched some flowers for the bottom layer.
Hope you like it!!

Thanks, Kathy!!! Well, you know, I HAD to do the MAN on a card for Pat, and she also loves easel cards, but I so struggle with the flowers that seem to come so easily to her - I appreciate your kind comments - ALL THE TIME - though I don't know HOW you do it !!
It's all I can do to keep up with the challenges I do as it is - life is too darn busy and complicated - I need more time to stamp - and comment - and browse galleries to learn more!!
LOL!!
God bless -
Sue

Wow this is so pretty. I love the Man! Your flowers look good, I can't see anything wrong with them. Your paper is beautiful and that bow is beautiful. I love the tag on the bottom of the easel. This is a beautiful card Sue. You do such wonderful creations.
