Just for You

Hello!!!  Well it's still chilly here and it's suppose to be spring!  There's suppose to be rain so the flowers can start growing but instead we get periodic snow flurries!  
Today I decided to share with you some flowers.  I have a card class coming up at the nursing home and I thought we should make something Springy since Mother Nature isn't cooperating.  This card is for easy mailing due to the flatness of the flowers.  June and I try to keep things as flat as we can to keep the residents from having to pay extra postage.  All in all I think the card turned out cute.  Here's the outside.
The die for the card was an older "Steel Rule" sizzix Bigz XL die.  I think it was called Fancy edge Bracket.  Could be wrong but anyway...........I added a few flowers and a couple butterflies to help decorate the front.
The inside was left pretty simple too.  There's a little flower on the right side of the yellow tag.  
I have all the card kits cut and bagged and ready for Friday afternoon.  Each card base is a different color since I used scraps but I was able to find coordinating papers for each base.  I hope the ladies enjoy putting these together and trying out flower layering.  Maybe it'll encourage them to be a little more creative and not rely so much on glitter and blings!

Enjoy your day and.................

HAPPY CARDING!
