It's week 2 here at CR84FN! Have you played with us yet? What are you waiting for? The Design Team members (listed in my sidebar) and our Guest Designer Mackie at Mackie Made Paper Creations have created some new things to feast your eyes on. Go visit and leave some LOVE!
Here's my card for week 2:
My card was made with such gratitude and LOVE for someone who did something very special for me but wants to remain nameless. I used my McGill flower punch and created this hydrangea for her by glueing each flower onto half a styrofoam ball and then glueing the pearls on each flower. It takes forever but I think it is so worth it!
(Now for a funny story you can skip if you don't have time. I made another card for CR84FN with a hydrangea and my SU friend asked me why I glued everything when I could have just stuck pins into the flowers. I was so glad I didn't use pins when the person I gave it to had a kitty that decided to EAT the flower off of the card! All of that work! But all I could think of was her poor kitty with pins sticking out of it's mouth! YIKES! So no pins for me EVER!)
Now back to my card!
Here is a close-up of the flower.
I attached it to a green PTI doily and die cut the leaves from PTI's Dahlia set. The tan mat was impressed with PTI's Giga Guidelines Impression plate.
This last photo spotlights the BEAUTIFUL paper from MME's Lost & Found paper pad. I put a vellum scallop behind the sheet music scallop so you could see the different papers better.
And YES, I used my FAV Tiny Tags cut out of coaster material. The script heart is actually a label that was on some seam binding I purchased. The swirl is a Technique Tuesday stamp.
I HOPE my Anonymous Blog Friend likes her card! My thanks to her comes from the bottom of my heart!!!

Oh Sue! That hydrangea is just gorgeous! Actually the whole card is gorgeous, but the flower is just stunning!
Your card is outstanding and so elegant! The way you did your flower is awesome! I know that person will cherish this! As for the kitty, me too! Who wants a trip to the vet if the cat was that lucky. Wonder if it was the smell of the glue, etc. LOLOL
omg Sue, saw this over on Pinterest and thought it was stunning, didn't realize it was YOUR card! That flower is FABULOUS!!!
Oh dear me...there aren't enough words in the English language to compliment this outstanding work of art! The flower, the DP, the vellum, the tag, the heart, the embossing, the twine, the swirl all add up to perfection personified!
Sue, this is amazing! I am almost lost for words! The vellum scallop, the tiny tags (my favourite too!) the amazing hydrangea arrangement is just wonderful. All your elements are so well thought out, your friend will truly be touched by your hard efforts at this most beautiful card. Xx
You do have lovely friends♥ Scarey story, I can't say I'm fond of cats, but wouldn't ever like to hear of such a disaster! Thank goodness you didn't use pins!
I have to say your hard work paid off as this is just beautiful, such a lovely keepsake. Your friend should frame it, it's wonderful.
Have a great week.
Katie xx
This is sooo GORGEOUS, Sue! I know "Anon" will truly appreciate your hard work and this fantabulous result! LOVE your BG and BG papers and totally covet those tiny tags !!!
Sue - this is MAGNIFICENT!! The dimension in the hydrangrea is fabulous, you have so much patience to attach them all and put in pretty pearls too. The scalloped borders are lovely, and I do like the vellum too. Just wonderful!
This is such a beautiful card. I could only think of those colors as masculine, but you made such a pretty, feminine card with them.
This is so sweet, ellegant and really laborious. These flowers - so tiny and precious look really alive. And these colours are so "eco" which I really like. I'm sure that new owner of this beautiful card is proud and extremaly happy to have it:)
Just beautiful!! Can we get together one day and make those flowers? I need to see if I want that punch :)
Tomorrow is BABY day!!

Lovely card Sue Lelli. The hydrangea flowers look awesome. The pearls look great in the middle (good thing those are not sharp... lol). The textures and papers are so pretty! :o)
Oh wow oh wow oh wow! This is absolutely amazing! Sooooo beautiful-such a gorgeous card that your friend is going to swoon!
WOW Sue, this is just beautiful. STUNNING!! Love the cat story too! Hugs from the UK x
Oh my gosh, I think I passed out and konked my head when I saw your card! That hydrangea is jaw-droppingly gorgeous! Especially with all the patterns and textures you chose for the rest of the card - superb! And what a crazy story about the kitty! :-S That made me ill thinking about that kitty with pins in its mouth... Fabulous card, Sue. So very beautiful. ;-)
What an awesome idea!!!
Thanks for sharing this design idea - when I´m not stressed and feeling calm, I´ll try this, too!
Have a nice day!
I am a former floral designer and your flower is SPOT ON gorgeous! Wow what a beauty Sue. But then again you ALWAYS give us FABULOUS cards ;)
Beautiful!My favorite colors.
Sue, this card is gorgeous! I love all the different dp's you used and that hydrangea is beautiful. I have that punch, but haven't attempted it yet. It looks so hard to make, but obviously you've done a fab job if that little kitty thought it looked good enough to eat!
fabulous!!! Love the dimension of all the flowers! Hugs Juls
That flower is spectacular Sue! You have such patience!
GORGEOUS hydrangea Sue! WOW! So funny about the kitty - sometimes they'll eat the strangest things :) But this is truly an AMAZING creation!
