I'm sharing the card I made for her ... hopefully it arrived in time!
This is from a stamp, die, stencil and embossing folder set that Dolly gifted to me when she came for a visit in May. This is such a beautiful set and I had so much fun making this card for her. I used teal for the main flowers on the card, which I believe is one of her favourite colours. The stamp/stencil set made this a quick and easy card, even though it looks complicated. :) I added my own shading rather than using the stencil, because I like to control the blending of the colours. And I used the fabulous sentiment from the set too. :) I finished by adding a few dots and dashes of white with a posca paint pen.
