Bloom where you are planted....



On the 'Just Because Cards' cart there are a choice of styles for the phrases that go with each icon..there is just the phrase itself (as on the Get Whale Soon card) or the phrase cut into an oval as on this card. I chose to make the phrase oval the focus here. I cut the oval twice..once in yellow paper and it's shadow in dark teal paper. I hand shadowed it with a scalloped oval cut with scissors. I used a simple layout using DCWV paper from the Cafe Mediterranean stack from The Range (£19.99) I added the extra wording with rub-ons. Layered flowers, pearl swirls, ribbon and some extra pearls complete the front. The inside was decorated with more paper from the stack and a simple blank scalloped oval.

Inside scalloped oval-A Child's Year
Thanks for looking!
