I used a flower from Hero Arts, Bold Blooms set, and some Soft Apricot Shadow ink to stamp a background. I stamped a larger flower in the ink and sponged it. Once I cut it out, I popped it onto the card and added some gems and Stickles. The sentiment is also a Hero Arts one... a limited edition for Breast Cancer Awareness. To make the mat I dragged the ink pad around the edge of some white card. Perfect match. Thanks Tiffany for such wonderful inspiration.
My cold is still with me. I didn't last till midnight on New Years Eve... crashing about 10.00pm. Then Sunday night, was coughing and snorting so much, poor hubby took himself off to his armchair in the lounge to sleep the night! Today, the cough in rumbling round my chest, I sound terrible but don't feel too bad.
I thought I'd just share a photo I took today from the deck... our weather has been shocking... rain and wind... but for part of the day, it was lovely and sunny and the Pohutukawa tree across at our neighbours is looking stunning.
I hope the New Year is starting well for you all.
Take care
Dawn

Dawn I just love the colors and how you popped out the large flower. Stunning!
So glad I inspired you! I love how you've used the gorgeous HA flower and the bold orange is certainly the hot color right now, love it!
Elegant and beautiful is right! Gorgeous card. Love seeing the greenery as we are gloomy and brown right now. :)
