I'm SO thrilled to be a CAS guest designer this week! Our theme is Mother's Day or May Flowers. We've already had Mother's Day here in the UK (in March) so I made a blank card for my first offering.
My card is also inspired by a piece of artwork I saw in the shop used for Saturday's Inspiration Challenge here. I wanted the flower to be the only focal point on the card so the design is extremely simple, lol!
The flower is stamped and clear embossed onto Rich Razzleberry card which my Big Sis sent me (Divine Secret Siblings), then I used some craft wire and pliers to form the outer petals. I then added the pearls. I mounted it onto ivory card.
Thank you for popping in to look!

Now Sally, that flower is so not simple so you were right to keep the bg clean! There must be a zillion pearls (or embossed dots that look like pearls) and that wire is unbelievable (you can work magic with plyers!). I am so impressed - this is gorgeous! What a great punch too! I think Pamzi will give you tons of punch points for those pearls (I heard she does that but it may be rumor).
