Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
We live in Jacksonville, FL. And, right now, the city is scrambling like mice, because Hurricane Fay is on her way. I DREAD hurricanes, and quite frankly, am scared. My parents live about 5 blocks away, and they, and my husband, refuse to leave. (In 2004, 2 hurricanes hit Jacksonville, 6 days apart, and I lost my roof. We went without electricity for 38 days, and STAYED in the house, because we have pets. Shelters do not take pets.
So, in honor of TODAY, and the day BEFORE the storm, I made this card for Mother. She was LAUGHING last evening, because she was prepared, and I wasn't! LOL! Hey, I've got a CASE of TastyKakes! It's all good! LOL!
The flowers were stamped in VersaMark and embossed in gold. I colored the flowers with markers.
The ferns and butterfly are punches.
I used Nestibilities to cut the circles and squares.

This card is absolutely beautiful! I love your colors, your shading, the embellishments...everything!
(plus, Butterscotch Crimpets are my addiction, so if you have Tastycakes, hurricane or not, it's all good ;p )

You're making me laugh, but I shouldn't be... it's way too serious! You're reminding me of the Crispy Creme's truck I threatened to highjack the other day!
