Off on a New Adventure ...

Good morning,

Sharing a card, I made for a co-worker who left to work from another school district. She loves purple so I added lots of it to the card! 
This is a large 7” x 7” square so lots of people could sign it. I even had to make the envelope to fit, which I don’t mind. This is probably the biggest card I’ve made to date, so it was an interesting process.

I couldn’t get the base from one piece of cardstock so had to cut a larger piece for the front and score in a tab to connect the two pieces.

The Astors I cut from a piece of pale-yellow scrap cardstock and then used markers to add more color to the blossoms and green for the leaves. I also colored white cardstock scraps with a darker color and placed in the open gaps of the purple flowers to give a bit more dimension.
