I was looking out the sliding door in my studio and saw my hibiscus blooming and thought that might be a good choice to send to someone in Canada. I didn't exactly have a hibiscus stamp, but I had something similar.
I am working at a disadvantage this week. I totally overworked my arthritic right hand last week punching about a hundred flowers out for a project. I can barely close my fingers. I've been resting it, so today I was able to stamp and cut with scissors (just barely) and I can work my Bigshot with my left hand, so managed to make this card. I can even type today pretty well.

This is perfect! Those blooms are bold, bright and so so happy. I love the bg you created with the smaller flowers. This should definitely liven Waltraud's room and bring a bit of cheer. Great card.
So sorry about your hand. This getting old business is for the s#*!s for sure. Hope it settles down soon so you can get back to doing all the things you love without pain. Hugs.

Love how bright and tropical this looks. I feel your pain, I had issues with my hand after I did DTGD a couple of years ago. Mine took awhile to get better. Hope yours returns to normal soon!

I think your card turned out beautiful. It's bright and tropical. Sorry about your hand...sounds like you overdid it with all the punched flowers...take care of yourself and rest up.

Oh Pat - so sorry about your hand. That's no fun at all. I'm impressed that you could use the Big Shot left-handed. I know I have, but it takes more thought and effort. I'd love to see the 100 flowers project!! Anyway, you still managed to create a beautiful bright flowery card, both the background and your great hibiscus.
