When I first saw the sketch at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge I knew I wanted to make a gradient color card. I found these beautiful colors that worked well together, then added the white strip with Swiss Dots. Next I cut out circles with Nesties and embossed Swiss Dots on the white cirle. I've been making dragonfly cards for Taylored Expressions Card Drive and I had intended to do that with this card. However, at this point, it (the card) just yelled at me, "I need a tissue flower!" Well, who am I to go against the wishes of my card? So I reached for the gorgeous tin on my desk filled with beautiful flowers that I was lucky enough to have won from Just Us Girls for their 4th challenge. (They are now all grown up at 21!) You can see Mona's video on how to make these gorgeous creations by clicking on the link above. I have been hoarding my winnings (I know others of you do this too!!) but have now decided that I must share this goodness with others! This card can be used for many different occasions so I will add that sort of greeting to the inside of the card. Be sure to check out the links and come back to see me again!
