The Design Team have made some amazing examples so please do take a look here.
Those of you that know me won't be surprised that my choice includes flowers!
I started by wanting to use one of the gelli plate prints I had made. I have had some aperture cards for a while but the pile doesn't seem to go down - my little print fitted perfectly inside so a card it is!!
I love wildflowers as much as cultivated ones - my Mum used to be forever receiving bunches of wild flowers, while Dad, a professional gardener at a nursery, used to become quite frustrated by my begging him to leave a weed in the garden until it had flowered!
The small flowers represent the white blossom on the trees, that are already beginning to lose some of their petals! I love to see them blowing in the breeze!
I look forward to seeing Natures Beauty through your eyes. I will try to visit when I have a connection!
Thank you for looking,Chris
This is absolutely gorgeous, Yvonne

A lovely card Chris, the gelling print works so well with your flower stamping and die cut.

A really lovely card Chris, love the gelli plate piece in the aperture, makes me think I should not have given away the stack of aperture cards I had.

So cute! Love the little flowers and the splattering, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your story of your family's differing views on wildflowers. I am the pro-wildflower end of things, but I like anything that'll grow on my patio ;) Your card is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI love this card, Chris, it is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat combination of your Gelli print and aperture card Chris, your splatters are so controlled, mine end up going everywhere ending with more on me than anything!! Have to agree about wildflowers, they always appear so carefree.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card.

What a stunning card!
ReplyDeleteI have NO idea how I missed this, but this is very,very clever. And your gelli print fits perfectly inside the stamped card, too. Good for you, dear.
ReplyDeletelove the splatter of flowers across the front of this piece. It's really all about spring now, isn't it? hope you are having fun in Paris. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLovely Chris - and the perfect foil for the TH diecut flower. Love your story about when you were a child.

That's a delightfully pretty card - I love the flowers falling across the aperture, and that amazing Gelli print at the heart of it.
