I didn’t have a large enough dark purple flower so I clustered several small flowers together. I’ve used SB Labels Four, SB Foliage, MS Butterflies. Recollections half pearls. Lace, flowers and organza ribbon from my stash. The largest butterfly was punched first from pink card then layered with a velum butterfly covered with VersaMark and heat embossed with Sparkle EP.
On the inside I’ve used a MS Daisy Border punch. More MS Butterflies, EK Success Flower punch (Are you getting tired of this little beauty? Hope not cuz I Love it.) I’ve used glitter glue in the flower centers and Gelly Roll pens on the butterflies. Susie is legally blind, as a result her writing is quite large. After completing the card I realized I hadn’t left her enough space to write her massage so I’ve included a simple note card that fits into the pocket.
While I had all my purple snippets, punches, ribbon, etc. out I made a card for Susie herself. The stamp is from Inkadinkado and the little yellow flower from my stash.
Have an Amazing Day!

Oh Bernie, these are two fabulous cards! I love the purples and pinks with the pretty flowers, lace and ribbons - just stunning and with your usual elegant touch. I warn you it's still damp over here in the playground so be sure to dry the swing before you play :)

I changed your link honey as it was leading me right back to the playground and not to this posting. Got quite dizzy before I realised :) xx
Bernie - these cards are fabulous. Love the idea of the little note pad and pocket on the top one. Love the colours.

Beautiful cards, Bernie! Great inside and out. Love the purples and flower cluster.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just so gorgeous. Loved the outside with the flowers, butterflies, but what you did with the inside was unique. I'll have to CASE that idea...thanks for sharing such beautiful cards.

Hi Bernie, lovely card, the inside pocket is fab and I love all the flowers, lace and ribbon too. There seems to be a wee trend for purple at the moment. Thanks for popping by and have a lovely Sunday. Elizabeth x
