Inspired by.........

Hi everybody  Hoping you are all well and happily crafting :O). This card was inspired by the lovely Catherine who is very talented and you can find her blog here,  I hope I have not let you down Catherine lol.  Its a beautiful day here the sun is shining and nearly all the snow has gone yeahhhh, only 4 days to go before Micks hospital appt, he is not looking foward to the tests he has got to have no wonder we may be there for 4-5 hours will be glad when it is all over. Well enough of that here is my card

Recipe
My Craft Studio Professional
A6 Card
Super smooth paper
Gems from stash
My own photo

The photo I used


I took the photo into MCS and cropped different areas of the photo. To create the dark backing paper I cropped the centre of the flower then enlarged it. The lighter backing paper I choose a part of the petals and cropped and enlarged this too. As you can see I printed everything off onto 2 sheets of super smooth paper then cut all out and layered onto the card
