Morning my crafting friends, hope this finds you all safe and well? We had a little covering of snow on Saturday but that went on Sunday, since then it has been cold but no more snow as yet, now watch it come down like a blizzard...lol!
(I had bad news this morning as my dear neighbour Joy passed away in hospital, God rest her soul, so this one is for her.)

Today's post was a bit of a quicky card I made, I could have done it better if I had raised the layers up but I wanted to keep it as flat as possible for posting, so of course I went and stuck some flowers on it!!!
I started with some Centura Pearl Ivory card for my base and layered it up with some Lilac Satin card that I had die cut the center with the Auvergne die, on top of this I put another layer of Ivory card that I had die cut using the next size up of the Auvergne die. For the top layer I used the largest of the Auvergne dies to die cut the aperture and matted this on top.
On two of the corners I added some flowers and fern leaves, in the opposite corners I added a Pearl.
I carefully stamped my sentiment in the middle to finish the card.
