I told you I do simple!

Hello Everyone
I'm recovering from the weekend's train run. I have to say, that it was funny, rather than a pain. I knew we wouldn't be getting a train until early morning and I was prepared for that. It was just a shame that we faffed about wondering which platform to go to. Our line is pretty reliable and trains quite frequent during the day From where I live into Kings Cross only takes 20 minutes or so. I just thought it was funny seeing all these people asleep in Starbucks and on benches. Most whom I assume were waiting for trains to France or Belgium. Out dancing tonight (not again I hear you moan! hee hee)
Here's another very simple but I think very effective card. I made it for a friend who is in hospital and of course no fresh flowers are allowed. I assume her diet is very restrictive too. I was going to send her an edible bouquet instead here which I have used a lot because they are close to where I live. They usually make the perfect gifts for somebody in hospital and are a bit different as fresh flowers are a no no
I started with a DL card and cut the floral pattern - Llidl to make a mat and then cut the Quilted Striplet and a frame with a 3cm border in white. I glued the Striplet flat onto the mat and the frame I foam mounted. The sentiment was printed and cut with the small die in the Becca Feakin Filigree Delights set.I also cut a second one in the floral print, cut it in half, to create a shadow Easy for batch making (not that I'm at that point in my card making journey) and for many occasions I think
