Birthday Gardenia

I hope you've all been keeping well in my absence.  Just because I haven't blogged for nearly two weeks doesn't mean I haven't been crafting. In fact, I've been very busy in my craft room but I've been working on projects that I can not show yet. In the meantime here is a birthday card that I made for a very dear friend back in December.

The card base is 8"x 8" and I rounded the corners before adding green card and a floral paper from my stash. I fixed lace across the front and used an All Occasions trellis die and Memory Box Catalina Wreath die that I'd coloured with Copics to match the image.

I love this gorgeous image from Mitzi at Aurora Wings. It's called Gardenia and Pearls. I coloured her with Copics and layered her onto green card.

The flowers were made with Tim Holtz dies. I used a variety of pearls and stamens for the centres.
The sentiment was printed on the computer and the bow was tied with organza ribbon.
I hope you all have a crafty week. I'd better get back to the craft room.
