Hope you are all well my lovelies. I have some flowers for you today -
some neutral, some vibrant!
some neutral, some vibrant!
The Lovely Mandi and Chrissie have asked us to use NEUTRALS
on our projects - anything from off-white to black, and shades of beige, brown, and grey in-between.
*******
Neutrals-watermk.jpg)
Recipe:-
Punched layers and base card - SU Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.
Paper snippets and an EK Success Flower Punch ~
(the gingham is a Wendy Vecchi stamp inked with Staz-on Timber Brown).
Stems created with a pin-pricking tool.
Tiny bow - SU Linen thread.
Sentiment - Penny Black.
Very old metal press-studs for flower centres.
**********
My card is also entered into Di's Snippets.
*********
OK - onto the vibrant flowers - I wonder if anyone can tell me the name of the blossom tree in these photos I took on holiday in Tenerife? The large flowers are the most lush, vibrant orange, the petals tipped with yellowy-white, and at the side of each flower is this strange but wonderful "banana-like" growth.
CLICK THE PICS. TO ENJOY THE COLOURS.

Your card is so very elegant Sylvia, super work.
Seem to recognise those flowers from either the Canary Isles or Madeira, might they be what they call a tulip tree ?

I think Brenda is right. It is an African Tulip Tree.

It's a pity we can grow a beautiful tree like this in the UK.
Your card is fab and I love the flower stems coming over onto the border. x
Your card is lovely ~ I promise I did not case it ~ Just a strange coincidence that we both used the same punch and had flower(s) with polka dots. I actually made the card last night, but was too tired to do the post.
oh wow Hun,you have made one stunning card here its so classy and so elegant,hugs Cherylxx
Love the flowers on your card Sylvia, the 'holey' stems are fab. Xx
