The Destination Station is to Charlotte, she loves handmade cards! Charlotte is in her final stages of cancer, so she could use some happy mail!
Almost everything on this card is from Stampin Up! The focal image is from Elements of Style and I coloured it with copics & added a bit of glitter to some flower centers.
The card base is black, with a layer of daffodil delight embossed with the square lattice EF. The edges of the image and the black piece were distressed.
The sentiment is from the Silhouette Sentiments set, and the Tiny Tags set. I punched it out with the Martha Stewart tag punch.
I finished it off with some black twine, a crystal brad!

That's a smashing colour combination - and the yellow is so bright and cheerful, I am sure it will lift Charlotte's spirits to see this beautiful card.

You can never go wrong if you bring flowers, and who wouldn't want to get these beauties. My word you did a great job colouring them, I love the colours you chose.
