Navy flower card

Good afternoon friends/bloggers, I hope all is well today  for you all. Here is a second card for this week's  'Less is More' challenge, where the theme is.......
Felt or Fabric       I went for a shabby chic look this time, in shades of purple and navy.Quite liking this colour combo! Details  below card....and my ramblings lol. Come and  have a closer look...........    

      

close- up

    I have lots of chiffon I bought in different shades to make flowers with. I went with the navy colour. After cutting and  singeing the ends I sewed some tiny beads in the middle. The leaves and 'buds' I pinched from some pot pourri, well the leaves were like paper mache so........fabric? I didn't  have any purple bakers twine so made my own.        Not brilliant I know but at least it matches. TH distress  inking and a bit of  distressing to the edge of the card. I  made a banner & added a Woodware stamped sentiment.  Job done !     ps. More changes afoot ( excuse pun....see below ), after  getting to used my new smart phone, then my new tablet,then  new glasses (varifocals for the 1st time).       It seems I have another new thing to get used to now.       I have been having foot problems for several years now and my reflexologist has been nagging me to get a referral to see a Podiatrist.My arches have dropped & my leg is  changing shape accordingly............ oh my !       Well today I saw him ( very nice young man) and he  is getting me  fitted with custom orthotics. It involved  lots of warm water and  plaster....very nice experience!        He did say my feet were very flexible, which is a good thing  apparantly lol. I hope this will help me be able  to walk  better and  with much less pain. I will report back soon :)
