I have another ampersand card today. Just simple CAS birthday card that was very hard to get a good photo of. Mirror card does love to bounce back the light doesn't it?!
Nothing much about this card, just stacked the ampersand, did a small panel of gilding flakes in gold, silver and copper and cut the ampersand "tail" from. Using mirror card, cut my sentiments. The flower and leaves cut out of white scraps and color with some alcohol markers, but not sure I like them. But they are there now, so there it will stay. Popped my panel up on foam and done.
I have been laid up with a bad stiff neck all week. So I am a little behind on commenting. Getting around some today since I can finally move my neck without lots of pain. So if I haven't been by, I will be soon I hope. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it and I appreciate you!
Crafty hugs,

Oh Brenda this is gorgeous - those flowers are beautiful there - just enough embellishment to accent the ampersand, it does not distract at all.

I love your CASlicious ampersand card design, Brenda! And I love the sweet little flower with the golden sediments! I hope you don't reinjure your sore neck with painting, but I understand how fun it is to spend time with your boy! I hope the stiffness and pain ends soon. Hugs, Auntie Darnell
