Flowers...

Happy Thursday! In less than an hour I will be off from work (yay!) and home to finish up some letters for a co-worker. I thought I'd post something since it's been a few days. So I have this card that I made for my friends Renate & Zach. They just moved to their new place and all of Renate's craft supplies were in boxes, Zach just found out his mom was in the hospital and they both wanted to send her a get well card. They both asked me if I could make them a card and I was happy to oblige them. =)
I asked what they had in mind and Ren said she wishes she could give her flowers. So I asked her any particular colors? She said nope you know what we like. So I thought some cheerful blossoms with some bright colors would do. Sorry this isn't the greatest picture since I took it with my phone, but you get the "picture" haha no pun intended:

I used 6 punches for this card. 7 different cs colors, 1 sheet of dp, white gel pen, lots of glue and mounting tape and some thread. I've always loved layered flowers on my cards and usually these are the ones that bring the most joy. The vase is a punch that I purchased from Hanko Designs and I've used it one other time. I just love it. The ribbon was from the dollar section at Michael's and went with my bright and cheerful theme. Here's hoping Mrs. Lenz is back at home where she belongs.
Mahalo for stopping by have a wonderful Thursday! I will hopefully be posting something tomorrow. :)
