This was what i completed last night. A couple of 'Mothers Day' cards - materials from from mish-mash of freebies from british scrapbook inspirations magazine and bits of patterned wrapping paper cut out to fit cards.
Pink flower bits (freebie) was coupled with various kinds of sequins from my small sequin collection - stuff i bought out of whim (from sewing shop) just because i thought ' i could use them' - (sure enough!) or just 'fancied the look of it ...'. They come in rather inexpensive small packets - enough to last one a while!
The greenish/blue-ish egg-shaped sequin became the 'leaves and the tiny round pink sequins (used two) for the center of the pink flower. Topped flower off with bright yellow tiny bead - all strung together with fine wire and taped to the back of patterned paper.
The first card is always the hardest. Struggled to string 'flower together' and had to figure out how to gingerly fasten flowers to back of paper (that wasn't exactly the thickest of papers nor the sturdiest!).
Edged the card with pink ric-rac and 'flower pot' sticker was made out of fancy paper punchers stuck together with double sided tape, topped with a green bow.
