Oy, this card is not the card I had in mind! Hopefully it will still be okay for Diane. This week, the teaparty is for Phyllis's (SparklePlenty1000) friend, Denise.
Denise is facing some very serious medical problems relating to her hip replacement ten years ago. She is an artist and is partial to trees and landscapes. She likes cats and flowers especially tulips and roses and she likes a lot of color.
The papers are Graphic45 from the French Country collection. I emossed the Eiffel tower on some black cardstock and added it. I had the "Bonjour" embossed in gold also, but it just didn't show up as well, so I had to use the sad, white cardstock and edged it in chalk. I wish it were prettier, but at least it is unique : )
Thanks for taking a peek!

Wow, Kathleen! This is an explosion of beautiful flowers and a wonderfully interesting patterned bg! Is that a recessed window I see? Great card for Phyllis' friend.
