These are such bright happy colours for this week's Colour Throwdown Challenge that I just had to have a try even though there are lots of chores waiting for me. Today is dull and cold so it was fun to just sit and make this simple card.
Card: Stampin' Up! Old Olive, Whisper White and Haiku DSP
Ink: Old Olive, Tangerine Tango and Summer Sun [ as we have no Daffodil Delight here yet]
Stamps: Eastern Blooms and Perfect Punches
Kaisercraft Rhinestones, SU wide oval punch, extra large two step bird punch
I saw my brother when in Brisbane and he is going home next week!!!! Isn't that a miracle?? It has been four months since his accident, he still has to have lots of physio, occupational and speech therapy but is so excited to be going home. He is starting to walk now but has to really concentrate on each step he takes. He is not allowed to fly so it will take three days for him to travel by car to get home - just short journeys each day.

A delightful and pretty card! Love the flowers and blocking with the papers! great job!
I like that you used a very simple layout but made it stunning with the patterned paper and position of the flowers.
Glad your brother is better.
