This card is off to Martha, aunt of our beloved Cindy. Tragedy hit and once again the teapotters are hoping to bring a bit a cheer.
My swan was looking for a beautiful garden and hopefully my little springs of blooms qualifies as a garden. The swan's wing was cut out 3 times, the edges feather cut and glittered, and finally the top edge popped up on all layers. The flowers were popped up and the centres highlighted with glitter. The flowers were fussy cut (frustrating).

Beautiful card with the bright, vibrant colors of your DP and floral accents......which contrasts so beautifully with the serene scene in the swan panel.

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your comments on my vultures. So nice to meet you. But I hafta say your Beauty is definitely 'some more pretty'. A lovely choice of patterned paper with the image and the reflection in the water is oh, so cool!

Your blooms make a beautiful garden - and the paper, too! I love the added sparkle. I was just looking at a pair of swans resting on the river bank at low tide this morning - against the dark mud and all cosied up they look nothing like as beautiful as your regal specimen.
