Hello and welcome to my blog. This is my card to entry to Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights for November 2023 - the theme is Thank you. It's always a pleasure to send a card, and what better reason to send a card other than sending a thank you to someone who has helped you or gone the extra mile to make a difference. I'm saying thank you with flowers!
For today's card, I pulled out my Sending Smiles bundle and cut out a Gorgeous Grape Sending and stamped, heat embossed and die cut A Note of Thanks - these were the only bits that I purposefully created for this particular card. The rest of the elements came from my pile that I'd cut out on a previous occasion. There is a mixture of die cut flowers and foliage from the Paper Florist, Fresh as a Daisy and Dainty Delight sets. Then, rather than just have a collection of flowers I built an arrangement around the sentiment.
The colours are Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Fresia, Granny Apple Green, Soft Sea Foam, a tiny bit of Bubble Bath and some Basic White. The flowers are attached with glue dots allowing the petals to overlap and curl to add texture. The Sending and A Note of Thanks are attached on dimensionals so that they sit proud of the flowers. To finish and for a little bling, I added Iridescent Pearls on top of tiny Gorgeous Grape flowers.
These are some of my favourite colours, and I love how attractive they look together. There are still quite a few flowers to use up, but I am pleased to have reduced my stash a little bit!
