Birthday party No. 2



Here is the second card for this afternoon, nothing like designing and creating at the last minute.  These colours are just divine and remind me that Spring is definitely on the way.  I was outside just before and our neighbours star jasmine is full of buds so that wonderful perfume will be with us soon.


This is for a little girl in my daughter's class, who is actually turning 8, but she is incredibly mature and intellegent, and a nice young lady.  She is quite gregarious hence the BIG and BOLD (and busy) card.  So by the time I had sorted the flowers out, the sentiment had nowhere to go,  it's peeping out of the corner.


Edited to Add:  I have just noticed that this card fits into the latest Ribbon Carousel challenge



See if I can get card No. 3 done today.

  2. Aaaaaak! How did I miss this flurry of creativity? Just catching up now. This one has me in awe of your color sense (you have balanced the challenge colors perfectly) and fussy cutting skills (how long did it take to cut out all those flowers?). Well done!
