A friend contacted me yesterday morning asking me to make a card for her friend's 60th birthday. She just said she liked flowers, so I thought as it was a sixtieth, it needed something special that High Street cards lack. So I made a Shakers Card for her and cut out the '60' from the cardstock. Covered it with acetate, mounted some sticky foam pads and added the confetti inside. Put sparkly card in the background and sealed it. I then added a plain white insert and added the flowers to the front of the card. I know it's not three flowers but I think if I'd've put any more on it would've looked 'too busy'. I think it works but let me know if you think I should add anything else. Thanks, Fae xFriday, February 15, 2008
Say it with flowers...

It's a great card Fae.
Like I said in a previous comment -if you do single flowers further apart - it still works. Because there's only ONE flower in that place, so it's still an odd number and the rule is adhered to!
Thanks Sarn, glad you like it. Thanks again for the tip... xxxx
