Flowers for my friend



After an afternoon spent stamping, and with the help of the clever and talented Debbie P, I have a potted present to give another friend tonight. This lady and I have been friends for more years than I care to count, since starting school together, and she loves pink flowers. Debbie found a tutorial for making the pot, and I raided her stash for pink paper and inks. Funny how the plans I had for using another flower image didn't eventuate??? My favourite SU Eastern Bloom just looks right to me. Two of the flowers are embossed with white, and two with pearl. The details are picked out with silver and white gel pens. All the leaves are courtesy of Debbie who patiently punched out ovals and scored them down the middle, but its hard to see them in the little gaps. I tried out my new Versamark chalk stamp on a piece of acetate for the sentiment. The ribbon came from the busy room and was j-u-s-t long enough.
