Yellow flowers of Thanks

Hello Everyone :)

Hope this find you fit and well and with plenty of Mojo :)

I am slowly getting mine and I am trusting her quite easily. This is a card I just grabbed bits and pieces of and put together:)
I did this as part of challenge - but for the life of me I cant find that either :grrrrrr: it was to add doodles - which is what the stems and leaves, borders and wording are....
ETA: Thank you to Fabulous Emma who knew the challenge I wanted was PollyCraft Challenge 6 shame I cant use it for that though - I didnt add a Pollycraft image :LOL: Oh well maybe another challenge will fit the bill???


Treated myself to this lovely big flower punch and just punched a load of flowers - which I found in a bag - saw 3 yellow ones and thought thy would be perfect!! Added a glossy white circle and added the flowers on it with a square of foam tape. Then doodled the leaves and stems and coloured them in. The white was still a little stark so just added simple dots around the white border to soften the edges.

Did another doodle border around the blue card which I corner punched with my other new punch - always wanted a corner rounder :)
Made my own sentiment - borrowed Heather's dotty font idea which I havent done in so long!! When I saw it earlier it must have stuck in the memory banks :) added an orange border and added dots to that. Drew the orange borders down the side of the card to tie it in with the orange flower centres aswell.

I am very happy with how it turned out considering I had no idea what was to come of what I was doing. Honestly I work better having no idea in mind - no expectation then I guess!!

Well I shall go for today - have another card for you probably tomorrow - I am not overly happy with it but 2 of my "critics" love it so I will leave it how it is - yeah I will!!
