- Oval Double Stitched die for the pretty flowers, which had some additional shading added with colored pencils, then added Nuvo Crystal drops in the centers.
- S/B lacy oval die for the mat.
- Dots Embossing folder for the banner.
- Bazzill textured navy card base, added small strips of the same paper used for the banner.
I hope it made the recipient happy to know we were thinking of her and sending hugs & prayers.

I love the blue and this is so bright and spring like which is nice to see. In my neck of the woods it has been grey and gloomy and raining right now but could change to freezing rain so your card made me smile...thank you
ReplyDeleteLovely card Mary, the blue and aqua is delightful together. I would love to get those Nuvo crystal drops, been seeing them on cards everywhere of late..xx

So pretty - love the color combination - goes so nicely with the flower bouquet! Haven't seen the oval double stitched die before but that is really pretty! Cute sentiment too Mary! Lovely job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Mary! I love the pretty flowers and embossing is always a favorite of mine. Love the Spellbinders lacy ovals dies, I have those and use them often.

These pretty flowers look so beautiful in that oval with scallop, you did so well to recycled them! Love the colours of your card, they are so sweet and also elegant and the embossing on the banner looks great!

Oh my Momma Mary, this is a beautiful card! I love the color combo and love that you recycle this beautiful image! I have such a hard time doing that and I don't know why. Maybe because the images I love on store bought cards are to big?? I don't know, but this one sure is a beautiful one definitely worth sharing and seeing again in a new card. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteMary, your coloring is exquisite on this beautiful card! I love your layout as well! Wonderful colors on this and love the die cut edge!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, what a pretty card, beautiful shades of blue and design.
ReplyDeleteCard-io stamps are the one you use with the little pegs. The range is fabulous and so well made. I love watching the demonstrator lady at the craft show creating cards, she is so quick and makes it all look so easy, hope you are well, Kate x
Stunning card Mary! I so love those beautiful flowers set so nicely in those gorgeous background colors. I am so behind in commenting since I've been so busy with the twins. I did post some pictures of them on their 4 month birthday earlier this week. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteNow that is two shades of blue that you don't often see together but boy do they look swell on your card here. The blue floral image is lovely. Phase 2 of the bathroom refurbishment kick started today so I'm holed up in my craft room trying to keep away from the smell of the sizing on the walls and the paint fumes. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Mary. I'm sure the recipient loved your card. xx
ReplyDeleteLOVE the blue flowers and such a pretty shade too, beautiful frame to show it off and embossing too, LOVE it.
