A Birthday gift card

Morning everyone and Happy April Fools Day! Has anyone fallen for anything daft yet today? I've not seen the news so I don't know what this year's joke is...

Well it is Friday so I thought I'd have one last go at the Less Is More Sketch Challenge for this week. I have, so far, created 3 different versions of the sketch, so here is the 4th. This one is rotated and flipped!

The flower is one of Mei Flower's designs that I learnt in Harrogate and thought I would give it a try myself. It is technically easy to do, just quite fiddly! I have mounted this flower into a brooch mount and mounted it to the card using a sticky pad...that way it can be taken off and worn! The sentiment is free from a random mag ages ago and it's printed in silver Encore ink.

Hope you like...now off to finish cross stitching this card...

    Wow, that flower is gorgeous, and how lovely that it can be detached and worn as a brooch. Fab take on the sketch. Lynne x
