Time for Grace (Sugar Nellie)

Good morning

I started to put together this easel card using the image Grace from Sugar Nellie and had a frustration attack after finding that I hadn't any flowers in my stash of the colour I wanted.  Time to turn to my trusted companion, the computer and a brilliant programme I have from Serif.  Eventually my frustration attack began to wain as after a bit of tweaking here and there with design, size and colour, I came up with these flowers.  After cutting them out, I scored the 'petals' just give a bit of depth, applied distress ink at the edges and fixed adhesive stones to complete them.  A stem of flowers were decoupaged at the top of the card.




Not so sure now about the sentiment on the top but oooh isn't it a good feeling to have something come together when you previously had doubts about it happening.  A bit like life really........?

Have a good day.

    Anyway your card is beautiful. I love the colour theme and the cute image. You've done a brilliant job with those flowers they look fab. I also like the swirls. Are they embossed?

  8. Hi Angie, I do occasionally have a glass of wine after my Sunday dinner... lol.
    I finally put my picture on the followers blog after going into 'help' menu. You don't have to look at a shadow anymore you can see me... lol.
    My next mission is to work out why the pictures of our cards arn't coming up in the side blog list anymore.
