With thanks

Hello

When I get frustrated with not being able to sit for long I'll often just dabble with making backgrounds. Something that I can easily go back to when I feel up to it without feeling pressured to make a complete card plus it gives me a supply of different backgrounds to use at a later date.
A few weeks ago I was playing with SSS Wide Stripes background & made a whole heap in different colours. The pretty colours in Cupcake Inspirations Challenge # 407 reminded me of one of those backgrounds so using that as my inspiration & the lovely florals seen behind the cupcakes I came up with this card -

I love the WPlus9 Freehand Florals as it doesn't really matter if you don't get an absolute perfect line up with the layers as the gorgeous flowers always look so pretty.

Hello

Unfortunately card making hasn't been on the list of priorities lately & I miss it! I've had to put a lot of focus into dealing with my back issues so I could finally come off medication.
I made this card for my 96 year old mum & had to take a quick shot with my phone as I was lucky to get it into the post in time last week.

This is probably the most colouring I've done for a while & was done over about 4 sessions. I've invested in a desk top easel which allows me to sit on the lounge with it propped on cushions so I can colour to my hearts content without affecting my back. It's a bit strange learning to colour on a semi vertical angle but I think it turned out ok.
I used WPlus9 Beautiful Bouquets Dahlias white embossed on Fabriano Bristol paper & coloured with Zigs. The Mothers day was die cut using my Silhouette & although it looks dark purple in the photo it was actually more the colour of the purple flowers on the card.

I am entering this into Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #407
