Now this is a difficult one for me, should I go for turquoise, teal, aqua, peacock, kingfisher - do you get the feeling I like the greeny-blue shades? Doesn't matter really - they are all beautiful.
Friend's birthday on Tuesday so this is for her- she shouldn't be peeking as I've asked her not to look at my blog this week but if you are Kath then close your eyes and press the 'back'button quickly.
Stamp is by Paperbag Studio, which funnily enough Kath bought me for my birthday in May, stamped onto some background paper I coloured a while ago.
The main background is also stamped but as I wasn't impressed I covered it with the most gorgeous flowered vellum, which doesn't show up properly in the photo, and added the even more gorgeous lace (a purchase from the Artsycrafty workshop last month) - this is on strict rationing as I only have about a foot left (not a left foot ha ha).
White flowers from Abakhan were spritzed with Glimmer Mists in Patina, only had a tiny drop left and now it's all gone. Finishing touches are the pearls I put on the lace and in the centre of the fabric flowers. Hope I haven't gone over the top on it - what do you think?

Definitely not over the top but then again I am a bit on an over the top kinda gal LOL.
Everything is so gorgeous. Always loved that stamp but never got around to buying it. The lace, oh how I love lace and the way you decorated the flowers.
I say, lucky friend.

Fabulous feel good card. With the beautiful vibrant blues and that gorgeous stamp. Your friend will love that card. XX
That's lovely, Ann and I love that image. You like the same colours as I do, although I do like lilacs and some shades of blue and green and pink ... etc, etc. Must admit, I do tend to stick to certain ones, although I've found I use a lot of colours in artwork that I wouldn't dream of using/wearing otherwise. Hard choice, isn't it, lol? xxx
Beautiful colours and so much wonderful texture your friend is very lucky to be getting this terrific card. Thank you for sharing with us at Craft-Room challenge XOXO Zoe
I certainly do not think you have gone over the top Ann, this is beautiful. I am so envious of that lace - oh how could you part with even an inch of it. Thanks for sharing with us on JFF this week. Hugs, Neet x
