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.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.




Gorgeous card, Rose. Those background stripes are just perfect for your floral cluster, and I love the bit of gold sparkle on the one side. Very lovely thank you card. Have a great weekend. Bev
