I would have been making a flower card today to send to a dear elderly member of my book club who is in hospital. I've sent my flower cards to her before and I know she loves them. Brenda chose the perfect inspiration 'shop' for me today and I chose these anenomes https://needlepoint.com/shop/kits/el...e-pitcher.html
I cut the flowers at 1'' on my Cricut, drenched them in water and added splodges of ink. When dry I shaped them, and dabbed black acrylic into the centres with an old paintbrush. I machine cut the cup and saucer at 3'' adding a scrap to define the cup base and popped up with foam pads after lightly sponging with Vintage Photo around the edges. My dear friend is a 'lady' in every sense so I added a doily which I'm sure will tickle her!

So sweet. Love the 3-D flowers in a teacup. The doily is a nice touch. The bright green fern leaves are terrific with the beautiful red & purple flowers. Your friend will love her card! TFS
