This card is for my Mom - her favorite colour is blue!! I added a bit of yellow when I used all these strips of decorative scrapbook paper from my little stash of blue papers. They coordinated so nicely and I simply taped them together on the back. I layered the background onto a piece of yellow scrap book paper and then onto my large blue card. This image is one of those I stampd a while back from one of my older SU sets - candles, flowers, leaves, a rabbit and this bouquet. I thought it would be handy to have stamped images ready for creating cards. Needless to say, I have a little stash of black and white images now!! I might have gotten a little carried away - it was a bit of ink and scrap pieces of white cardstock!! I watercoloured my flowers to coordinate with my background, added a green ribbon and a layered oval greeting (font - laser printed) to the lower section then added a few lines of paper pierced texture with my pattern tracing wheel. To finish it off I added some blue watercolour to the edges and mounted it to a rectangle of textured yellow cardstock. I punched the bottom edge with scalloped border punch (SU) and punched tiny holes in each scallop. I mounted this focal element to my card front with 3D foam tape.
