Charisma Cardz Challenge #37 - Flower Power



This "Flower Power" challenge from Charisma Cardz brought back a lot of memories from the 60s, the era of Love and Peace. The decade in which I met hubby (not married till 1970) and set out on a wonderful journey together. (Do you hear the violins playing in the background?)
Anyway, enough of that and on to the card. I decided to make a round card so I got out the old Cricut Expressions and George and Basic Shapes cartridge and cut out two merged circles so that I could fold them to form a card. I also cut out a piece of black card the same size circle to form a backing for the front of the card. I used Magnolia's "Tilda Laying on Belly" and coloured her with the old Copic Ciaos and surrounded her with handmade flowers and fronds. I also included one small flower shaped charm.
I hope the flowers are not overpowering and look forward to any comments so might be kind enough to leave for me.
Hugs,
