Here is the inside:
I couldn't decide what colors to use...so I used them all! LOL! Using the current sketch at Cardabilities, I die cut ten 1" circles and one 1-1/2" circle from double sided DP. Folded the 1" circles into a 'V' shape, making sure the sides are all folded the same. (For my flower, I folded the left side first, then the right side) Then I adhered all the 'petals' onto the 1-1/2" circle, adding an aqua flower and a brad from my stash to finish it off. I shopped my stash for more flowers and brads, and even a doilie! The doilie was white, but I took Peacock Feathers DI and colored it with the blending tool. I also took a scrap of vellum, and scribbled over it with a SN marker. When it was dry, I die cut the leaves. Once I assembled the front, I finished the inside and was done. I love how bright and cheery the colors in this card are. Makes me think Spring is almost here! (As I type this, I'm looking out my window at the big piles of snow still covering everything. Sigh.) Come on Spring - you can't get here soon enough!! :)
