Thanks...so much

Hi all!  I'm a little behind this week I must admit, but I had a lovely visit with my Aunt who went home last Sunday :)  She was taking the train home Saturday but fortuneately we changed her mind and as it turned out, it was for the best.  Melbourne had a most savage storm Saturday afternoon, and I hope those effected have been helped with the clean up. 

Saturday was Melbourne's storm and Sunday was Shepparton's!  On our way in to the station we had to pull over with rain so heavy we coudln't see to drive, and winds so strong a huge tree fell down right in front of us only metres away!  We were very thankful I reversed a bit when I first pulled over.  So that has been my few days, with the clean up in town still going on, and we feel very blessed that we had no major damage at home. 

It's always nice to be able to say 'thanks' to someone, and I hope this card will do exactly that :) 

I've used an image from the set Flowers With Love and stamped it twice to form a frame for the sentiment from the same set.  Using one of my favourites of the Spellbinders Labels I then cut the shape.

The flowers were coloured with my Copics, and I did an extra flower for the right hand side and raised it with dimensional foam.

The DP under the label was pierced around the outer edge from the wrong side, and the lighter DP has been distressed a little along all four sides.  The Pearls are 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and a 6mm in the corner.

I need to get moving and pack this up tonight with some goodies :)

Hi Andrea

Sounds like you have had some excitement you could of done without!
Your card is beautiful, I love the colouring on the flowers. The pearls in the corner are the perfect touch.

An absolutely beautiful card Andrea. Pleased you had a lovely visit from your Aunt. Not sure if you're aware that we've been having major heatwaves in Cape Town. Our prayers have been answered, there is thunder and lightning and the heavens have opened and we've got RAIN!

Wow, this is lovely Andrea!

Glad you didn't get damage or injuries from the storms!

I saw the storms that you guys were having on Sky News!! Hail stones the size of tennis balls or something like that!! This is such a pretty card Andrea, I love it!
