Floral Card

Hello again Folks.  I hope your day has been full of sunshine, here on the West Coast of Scotland it has been a glorious day.  The garden is looking better now too after the cold weather etc. Lots of lovely spring flowers and even the shrubs are showing their colours.
This little card was specially made for my SIL who loved the one I did for her husband, so I thought I'd better make one for her too. She is Italian and helped me so much with cooking etc just after I was married. She is very special to my family as well, so this will help cheer her up.  Yes, its another Double Diamond fold card, because I love them and they are so easy to make.  The images are from My Craft Studio 'Flawless Florals' and the colours were a favourite of my sil.   My back is so much better to-day and I got a really good night's sleep last night.   Hope those of you who are poorly at the moment are feeling better and to the healthy among us I hope you have a lovely Week-End.   Hugs Rita xx

Rita, so glad you are feeling better. This is a lovely card,such pretty colors. I had to smile at your 'so easy' comment. I am 'fold challenged' (among other faults! ) and this card was most impressive. Your SIL will love it, and how sweet of you to thank her here for all her cooking help. It's great when in-laws can love each other & be friends, and share skills/talents. TFS
