Have you ever counted how many pieces are in your cards? This one is my personal record: 92. It's a special Mother's Day card for my husband's mom. It all started with an IC382 webpage, http://eglantyne.shop-pro.jp/?pid=34292343 . That reminded me of the gorgeous wreaths in kittie747's gallery. I've always wanted to try one. Ohmygoodness, she must have tons of patience to assemble all those tiny pieces.
The flowers and leaves were shaped on the reverse side with a large ball stylus. The technique is explained here: Shaping Flower Petals.
The finished card is 5.5" square. Thanks for viewing.

Judy this is fabulous, and your MIL is going to love it. I had to laugh, because when I saw the card in the gallery, I thought is was Kittie's. A lovely Mom's Day card.
