I made this card for my mom, whose birthday is next week. Ironically, she is my biggest fan and she gets the fewest cards from me, but she absolutely loves taking them and sending them to people and I love that (thanks, Mom!)
The flowers are the "new to me" technique I used for this card. I think this is the first time I've ventured into cutting anything but paper with my wafer dies. The felt I bought recently after I saw the tutorial in Lisa M. Pace's book Delight in the Details, and I just love the look of the felt with glitter. On mine there's just a hint on the petals and it doesn't show up so well in the photo. I can't wait to try out more or Lisa's techniques since I've been wanting to give cards with a more vintage feel a try.
