IÂ’m sending this card out to a young lady with breast cancer, if youÂ’d like to help cheer her up hereÂ’s a link to a thread Mothermark posted. Mine has just a touch of plum pinkÂ…I figured by now Eliza may be getting tired of pink, plus we have had some gloomy days and I just had to do something cheery and springy and use my new color. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I did sponging on the colored panels with the like color and on the white with grey this includes slot punch feature and door hinge. Silver metallic gel pen adds the nail heads to the slot punch. The sky is sponged in using my template hand made from cardstock. All flowers are colored with aqua painter and pad ink then cut out and tacky glued to the card. Clear sparkle gel pen by Sakura is used on the flowers in the double line spaces. Markers color is used for the bubble bee.
Measurements: smaller top panels are 1 7/8” b 3 1/8”, larger top panel 1 7/8” by 3 15/16”. It’s a 4.25 by 5.50 card with the second layer cut 1/4” smaller. The flower panel is 3.50 by 2.50 on the outside layer.

Oh my word -- the work here -- this is just stunning -- the colors are fanastic -- the layout is totally awesome -- I love your narrowly matted main frame -- totally love how you attached the two lower panels -- but beyond all this -- your main image flowers are divine -- cut and displayed sooo beautifully!!! A truly exceptional card!!!
