My BFF's Mom's will celebrate her birthday next week. I created this card for her. Almost everyone appreciates handmade cards. That fact is really just frosting on the cake because I would probably make cards even if no one liked them but me LOL! but sometimes you find someone who really appreciates them!! : ) This dear woman is one of those people!
I love these "brushstroke" images by Penny Black. They make me feel like an artist! : )
Have a wonderful day!! and thanks a bunch for stopping by.
BIG (((hugs)))
Supplies:
Peony #40-537 by Penny Black

At Christmastime, I give our kids and grown-up grandkids boxes of cards that I've made. They usually run out by mid-year and let me know how much they love to give them! I can understand the joy that just knowing someone appreciates the cards you make! This one is certainly beautiful, and I just know your BFF's mom is going to love it. It's bright, happy and that image is wonderful. And...you ARE an artist! Bev
Patti, so beautiful. Your friend is going to love this to give to her mom.
Yes Patti your card looks so artsy and yes you are an artist my friend x. The most beautiful card and with a wonderful stamped image....love your colour choice too x. Isn't it fabulous when the recipient actually appreciates hand made creations ? ....They are going to love this one x.
Wow! Such a gorgeous design Patti! Love the image and your colors you've used with it!! She will love it! :)
What a stunning card Patti - love the big but delicate stamped image, and the touch of purple in the one bloom is perfect
Blessings

I know what you mean when you say you would give a hand made card anyway. It makes me happy too. This card is so light and airy and has a great artsy look to it. Like a dreamy Monet painting. Love it and I am sure your BFF mom will as well.
Gorgeous Patti! It's not just the stamps that make you look like an artist, you truly have an eye for detail, color and design. YOU ARE an artist!
Beautiful!!! Love the colors. And I know what you mean about finding people who really appreciate your efforts. But, I have to say even without this stamp, you ARE an artist! You create the most beautiful cards with paper and ink. That's amazing! I do know what you meant by your comment, but I wanted to tell you I consider you an artist for sure. Hope you have a happy day!
Oh my stars Patti, this is gorgeous! I think she'll appreciate this one a little extra!
You ARE an artist, dear woman! And anyone who wouldn't be delighted to receive a gorgeous handmade card like this one is dead. Simply put! Hugs, Darnell
This is so gorgeous and I love the beautiful colors. And, I know the same feeling as you....when I use them I feel like an artist. But like another gal said we are artists in our own way. We take those stamps and apply our own way of using them to create gorgeous designs. I know you certainly did that.
You definitely ARE an artist Patti, and feel free to send any un-used cards my way as I totally LOVE getting handmade cards! Your BFF's mom is going to love this one...the colors are so bright and cheery and just LOVELY!! Hugs. :0)
What a beautiful card! Once again you show your true talent. So I am the BFF and my Mom will love this card! She feels "touched by Patti" when you give her your thoughtful cards. Love you friend :)
This one is going to be extra special indeed! Love that you managed to mix the brown and greens perfectly on the stems! Pretty colors!
Well, I agree with Darnell, you would have to be dead not to adore this card! Your color choices, placement of the stamps and the wonky lines on the label are just a few of the details that make your design exquisite. Hugs
gorgeous card.

I know what you mean - it makes me happy to make my cards but even happier when someone appreciates that they are handmade! Your card is absolutely beautiful!
I'm never sure how people feel about my cards (except family) but like you I'd make them anyway, Patti. It's killing me to not be able to make any for at least two months while my hand is splinted and then casted. This card is lovely and the purple center really makes it stand out.
