Happy Easter Card

hi everyone!  I made an Easter card for my sister in New York and wanted to share it with you today.

 

I've had these Mylar flowers in my stash for years (I'm embarrassed to admit it!).  You know, I sometimes buy something and save it until just the right moment.  Today was that day for these flowers. (I do plan on adding a tag sentiment to the front of my card...just haven't gotten to it yet)

The colors are vibrant and best of all they are mostly flat.  There is SOME dimension on them and they have some embossing too as you can see.  I think my sister will enjoy this card.

 

I actually have some translucent flowers too.  The orange layered flower has one in it.
 
 
 
I added some white pearls for centers and a few to accent the curve of the embossed pink shimmer cardstock beneath.
 
 
Did you know that you can make these pretty flowers? Paper Wishes sells the mylar material (Called Shimmer Sheetz ) that you can use to cut out flowers.  A few embossed lines and you will have a great set of flowers.  In fact, I may do that myself.



Have a Happy Easter!
