Have you ever counted how many pieces are in your cards? This one is my personal record: 92. It's a special Mother's Day card for my husband's mom. It all started with an IC382 webpage, http://eglantyne.shop-pro.jp/?pid=34292343 . That reminded me of the gorgeous wreaths in kittie747's gallery. I've always wanted to try one. Ohmygoodness, she must have tons of patience to assemble all those tiny pieces.
The flowers and leaves were shaped on the reverse side with a large ball stylus. The technique is explained here: Shaping Flower Petals.
The finished card is 5.5" square. Thanks for viewing.

I can't believe you counted all those pieces, but it sure did make a gorgeous spring wreath! I love the fresh colours and the wonderful balance between big and little flowers and leaves!

Judi, this is absolutely gorgeous. I love your lovely color choice and it will be a treasured card for your MIL. I had to laugh out loud when I saw that you had counted all the pieces. I have never done that. I might have to stop making floral cards if I did. LOL!
