I made this card for a Teapot Challenge to cheer up a lady who lost her husband. I also made this to work for ABC challenge letter "M" for marigolds.
I die cut flowers and colored centers with orange Copic markers. I used stylus to curl petals. Die cut leaves and corners in darker green. Glued flowers, leaves and corners to the light green layer and onto darker green, then onto cream card. I popped up my little Hello sentiment with 3D pop dots.

WOW, really fantastic. just lovely added extra coloring in the center on the 'marigold' colored flower, too. so bright and cheery and Carleta will really enjoy this card, for sure!! I am not sure how you mail a card like this, I stick to low profile cards for mailing. would love to know your process if you feel like sending me a PM. thanks for inspiring and for your nice comment on my card for this challenge. have a great evening, Teresa

Gracie, this is indeed gorgeous! I was wondering the same thing as Teresa, actually. How will you mail this lovely card? The marigolds look amazingly real! Beautifully done!

The colors and layers of these lovely flowers is so rich in appearance, they simply pop off the page! Carleta will sure be cheered by these glorious blooms!
