Mother's Day Card



I am not as sure about the colour of this one now as I was in the shop! But at least it's not Green ;p!
I like the reduced size of the cream insert against the orange, it looks well with the outline - it may become a feature...
The embossing on the front, hmmm: I knew I wanted the main flower and the lickle-ickle flower which is looking up to it, aw, to be highlighted, but as I was scattering the powder on the first card quite a lot clung to the ink of the surrounding flowers...and I thought I'd see what that looked like, as I liked the idea of it looking like a reflected glow from the main flower...and it kinda does.
Kinda!
I wasn't completely sold, so for the second one I cleaned it up much more, but filled in the leaves to have a little wow factor. Hmm. Again, not completely sold on that, but some of the pictures of both cards did come out well.
Finally, I was considering a little white ribbon holding the two pieces of the card together, which would bring some more colour to the front of the card, but then I tried the reduced insert and so had to stick it in to keep the lovely surround. Again: hmmm!
