Happy new home

 I started out making this card for a couple from our church that has moved away to a different state to be closer to their grandchildren.  But once I added the rolled flowers (which it really needed), it won't really be mailable.  Not to worry, though, because my cousin is also moving within the next month and I will be sending him a little gift, so this will fit in the box with no problems.  Since it is a little "girly" I will probably address it to him AND his wife. : )

This chair is the Lazy Paisley image from Squigglefly and I thought it was super cute when I got it.  But let me tell you, now that I highlighted the paisley design with a white gel pen, I LOVE it!  I wish I was better at taking pictures, because the colors on this card (and chair) are gorgeous together.  I use PTI's Ocean Tides cardstock which is a beautiful grayish green I can't even name.  But in the picture, it just looks gray, and it's NOT.  I sponged Ocean Tides ink on it trying to use a technique that totally didn't work--I think it's the wrong kind of ink) so it gives it a mottled, darker look.
