Today I have a birthday card using some beautiful GinaK orchid cardstock. I just love this color and it's perfect for putting me into a spring mode! The flower is by SU! and was colored with Copics in shades of pink and green. I added a paper doily (a gift from my thoughtful friend Mary Anne) and a Cheery Lynn flourish using GinaK grass green cardstock. I added a matching padded button to the center, along with some randomly placed tiny pink, green, and clear gemstones. The sentiment is a sticker and was small enough to be seen but not overshadow the big bloom!
I'm entering this card into the Mod Squad challenge which is to make a flower your focal point.
Thanks for spending a few minutes of your day with me, and I hope you find some beautiful color in your life too!
