At the end of the school year I like to give my immediate colleagues a card and small gift to show my appreciation for their support and friendship. I am so very lucky to work with wonderful women and they have become my dear friends as well. What could be better about a great job than being able to call those you work with your friends?
This particular card is for one teacher I work closely with and these are her favorite colours. I haven't played around with my punches for awhile and this kind of came together piece by piece--no grand design! I stamped the flower 3 times and cut each one out to give some dimension. I attached them just slightly 'off' each other. The whole pink layer is on dimensionals. I also punched the bottom edge of the card.
Thanks for looking.

Oooh Char, isn't this a purdy creation! Takin' a two-minute break from house/yardwork and saw this little eye-catcher in the gallery. Love the pink and black - can't guess who this might be for. Love the layered flower. Busy weekend here - 2 nephews' confirmation (including our Godson), company from England and prep for my parents' 40th anniversary next weekend... Yikes! I'll try and get back when I have a bit more time to see if you have other new goodies in your gallery. After 3" of rain this week alone our yard needs a bit of attention! Later...

Uh, so... this might sound dumb... but how did you get that border punch to go all the way around the page matched up like that... is that one of those punch around the page things or just some special skill you have... please share...
I bet your friend just adored this card. The flower in the center is so spectacular and the color combo rocks!
