Hello sweet bloggers,
Here is a quick post from me to show you my latest card. I am trying to get better at colouring so here is my take. I made the card without flowers and then as an afterthought decided to overload it with flowers which are handmade by yours truly. I could have done better with the leaves around the flowers, I think. I cannot remember the name of the rubber stamp but do recollect that I got rather cheap. The woollen yarn and embroidery thread is from my stash and the embossing folder is one of my fave. The scalloped nestie hiding behind the round one has been die cut out of a brochure.
Without the overload

I like it both ways (loaded and overloaded) LOL
The yellow really does provide a bit of pop - but it looks pretty both ways, Monica. The feathery embossing is BEAUTIFUL! Very classy and elegant.
Hope all is going well for you! hugs, de

Beautiful card! Thanks for joining our Clean and Simple challenge at Dream Valley. Susie x
From the CAS point of view without the overload is better, BUT both cards are gorgeous. I love the soft orange shades on your pears, and the little pops of orange on the scalloped circle and the yarns. The embossed background is perfect for the design.
Thanks for sharing with us both at
