"Friends are flowers in the garden of life." |
As with many others, I play around with the way it looks before. Sometimes what I originally had imagined turns out to be completely different. These things are normal. Just to give you an idea, here is the before:
I felt more comfortable with the arrangement that I settled on though, so I went with that:
Here is an up close shot. There are 5 flowers total. Quilled centers lay on top of Prima flowers. Wording is a rub-on sticker. Green leaves were also quilled.
This picture shows you how it shimmers. The inner border has some dry embossing (that I did not do) along with more shimmering frame lines.
Being creative is a process, so patience is key!!! Don't give up!
Before I go, I want to give a shout out to Laine who is doing yet another generous giveaway! Head over to Hugs4theHeart for instructions on how to enter!

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI hope your life is getting better again! I really was so scared about what you've been living -sawing on Tv it was more than a bad dream and I am so glad ,finally ,all is over!
See,sometimes,we envy you for living in such a full of possibilities country,in the land were people say proudly "I am American and inteligent!!!(Bill Gates said so in an interview) but ,when it comes to such happennings...I am thinking twice! Dana always says she loves Los Angeles and New York city but I know she knows very few things about them...She's dreaming like a child....
Love the quote and the card looks gorgeous all together! It shows what a warm and special person you are! We love you and wish the best in the whole world! Dana and mom
Such a wonderful gift and love those beautiful flowers:-)
