Louise is turning 103, so there are that many reasons to be happy! This card is en-route to Louise, so I hope this helps her to celebrate!

Louise has very poor eyesight, so texture and bright colors are the focus. Embossed the inside of the card with a floral folder for added interest. Ran a piece of unlabeled blue CS through the swirls folder, then added the flowers (I used extra dimensionals to hold those flowers fast!). Added the gold vase and the hand-fashioned tag sentiment and done. PT - 2
Sorry for this ridiculously late post. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Cute card! It's all good. Love the bright, big happy sunflowers. The blue embossed background is a wonderful complement to the yellow. The tag adds the perfect touch. I like how you titled it 103 reason to be happy. TFS

Wow, Marie! Not only did you host Louise's tea party and write the adorable story, but you've found beautifully textured sunflower embellishments for her card! Your embossed panels both inside and out and pretty gold die cut vase add wonderful texture so that she can truly enjoy each element of your beautiful card! Thank you! I just know that Louise is going to be so amazed and delighted with the outpouring of love from all the talented SCS crafters!

Wow! This is certainly colorful and has lots of texture for the recipient!
And it is beautiful, too! She will love it. Like Rita said, it was a great story, too. Thank you Marie!

Wow, love the flowers so textured looking and pretty along with the vase and the eb folders---better late than not at all, and you have a good excuse---so busy and you do great job on the teapotters--so no apologies needed for working sooooooo many places. Thanks for doing all you do

Oh gosh, those flowers are amazing!! Such a great way of adding a whole bunch of texture, it makes me wish I could feel them myself. Neat idea to emboss the inside, too.
