Mum needed a birthday card for her prayer partner. I saw this one on Splitcoast (I'm a shocker for CASEing everything but my work week sucks up all my brain power & I need to use other people's brains on my days off LOL). I loved the simple 2-tone use of the '5th Avenue Floral' daisy. It also gave me a reason to break out my new marina Mist CS, it is such a pretty blue, I love it. I used it with Not Quite Navy and So Saffron for the flower centres.
I decided against the embossing, instead I added some interest with the new 'Wonderfully Worn' background stamp, I really like the effect it gives. A sentiment (retired US) and one of the new rhinestones and I was done. I hope Mum finds it ok for the intended recipient.
Must run, off to have morning tea with my neighbour,
Cheers,

I'm sure your mum will love it ... and her friend, too! Simple but sweet, Fi! Hugs Andrea xx
Beautiful! I always loved that sentiment set - so pretty!
And me again... the word verification thingy for my comment said "blessm".. LOL! How appropriate for this card :)
Wow - great masking. Love this card.
Just beautiful, perfectly elegant. I love the colours, especially Marina Mist. I haven't managed to get it just yet, it's going to be on my next stamp club order. I love the scalloped trim too, a perfect detail. This is really lovely Fi, I'm sure your Mum loved it. Xox
Absolutely nothing wrong with CASEing - they say it is the most sincere form of flattery. I love to CASE too, there are just so many gorgeous creations out there, I can't NOT try to make them all! lol
