This card is going to Ruth, a woman fighting lung cancer. I used a portion of a Flourishes stamp of daisies. It's hard to make out the detail on the three little bees but their wings are glittered as are the centres of the daisies.

This is just gorgeous. Those flowers look amazing against the backdrop of your pretty designer paper. The bees are a buzzin in happy land with how beautiful your card is!!!

What a wonderful day brightener. I personally still have trouble mixing patterns on a card, but when I see one like this, I'm inspired to stretch beyond my comfort zone. The dotted paper really makes the yellow plaid and the daisies just pop off the page. I'm sure Ruth will love it.

I love gerberas, I think they are real happy-making flowers, and I can bet that Rita will love these. I like the dainty lace and gingham ribbon too - a country feel with a touch of sophistication.

This is beautiful. Like someone posted above me, I have trouble mixing patterns too, but you sure know how to do it...it makes this card really pop! Great job!
