Jo's birthday

Here's another one I made in January, for my friend Jo's birthday. Now Jo is an avid gardener which, I might add, is quite a feat since she lives in the middle of the Arizona desert in Sun City (metro Phoenix area) and it is hot, hot, hot there! Still she manages to grow the most glorious iris, gladiolas, roses and other beautiful flowers in the midst of all that. She used to travel down to Tucson to work every week and bring these gorgeous flowers to sit on her desk and if I was very lucky, she shared a few with me (I LOVE flowers!). She no longer works with me and I'm not sure if I miss her or the flowers more! LOL! Just kidding, Jo!

Anyway, she was still here for her birthday in January, and I got her the bouquet of flowers that you see in the pic so, of course, had to make the card to be all matchy-matchy! :) One thing you may not be able to see in the pic is that the guava layer was stamped with canvas b/g. The rest is pretty self explanatory...


Stamps: Art of Life (retired), Canvas b/g, Friendship Blooms
Inks: Groovy Guava, Garden Green, So Saffron
Paper: Garden Green, Groovy Guava, Whisper White, So Saffron d/p
other: white faux brads (self stick), Groovy Guava stitched grosgrain ribbon, Garden Green and So Saffron markers, dimensionals

This is beautiful! The layout is just perfect and the colors are yummy! You do a fantastic job of combining colors. Love that swirl down in the corner. Oh, and the faux brads--those are the best kind because you can add them as an afterthought. I love this card!
