Flower bouquet


Hi Everyone, my card today is for my SiL who's birthday it is today. She loves Autumn colours and when I saw a "special" magazine that I liked the look of, I bought it for Autumn. I was looking through the magazine and this card caught my eye and I decided to use all the ingredients in the mag and make it.

I did what I hadn't done before, stamping, then colouring the stamps on printed paper supplied in the magazine, using more paper as an addition for the "bouquet wrapping" and all with instructions on how to do it by Teresa Morgan. I love the card and thrilled how it turned out. I also love the paper background to the flower and will certainly look at doing it again, the sentiment was done in the same way as the flowers. Of course I had to add her age. I hope my SiL will love it too.

all items from - John Next Door Magazine, Autumn Special
coloured with Distress inks
Pickled Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin
sentiment die - Tonic
number dies - mag freebies

Wow, I am loving this card myself Faith, so I can imagine your SIL loved it too! The colors are so vibrant and gives the feel of autumn, love the background and love how you put her age on it too. You should get a lot of mileage out of these supplies from the magazine! Those daisies are just so pretty!!! Hugs, Brenda
