Here it is, my entry for the 4th Daring Cardmakers.
A very big THANK YOU goes to Sabine, in Copenhagen, who kindly translated my favourite poem to the Danish. It really made my day. Before posting this card I emailed a picture over to Sabine, as I wanted her to be the first to see the design.
It is quite a simple one really. I drew round two ovals for the body of the piece in silver gel pen, then stuck tiny silver gem stone between the gaps. The garden gate & small arbour is a decoupage piece I made using some design sheets from Margaret Sherry.(Very fiddly but well worth it) The small pink prima flowers, I bought from Debbie off Ebay.(Do you recognise them Debs!!) I used the gems for their centres to keep it simple. The small pomegranate picture was clipart from my computer just to fill the blank space above the poem. I thought about chalking the bottom in pale green beneath the gate, but feared it would over do the design & make it messy.

Paula, this is beautiful. I love the way you've drawn the ovals - actually I'm really jealous, because even using a template to draw round I'd have made a horrible mess.
It's all just so pretty and will look lovely framed
Ooh, Paula, it was well worth the wait! What a beautiful card :-)

Paula, such a pretty card. You must be se neat - it I tried something like this it would end up a big splodgy mess. xoxo
Paula your card is beauitful
Wow Paula - have to agree with everyone else htough - there is no way I would get ovals like - mine would have splodges too ! LOl
Such a beautiful card - and I recognise the primas :-) I also use gems in the centre - it really jazzes them up nicely.
Thanks for joining in again :-)
