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...........

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 :)

Gorgeous flower. You've inspired me to use up some of my chiffon.
A superb card, so love the parchment effect of the top layer and that flower is outstanding.
Do hope that your feet improve soon, it's awful when you can't walk without pain.

Dear friend, I really enjoy your cards and tips. So sorry to hear about your foot problems. Glad you're getting it taken care of. Letting it go can really mess up so many parts of your body...talking from experience!
