(BTW, a story in slightly bad taste, but true. Nan, herself 92 years old, commissioned this card some months ago, then rang me recently to says that Bess had been taken into hospital. "She'll probably be OK, but don't put her name on the card just in case, then I can use it for someone else if she dies".)
In the end I went for a stepper card heavily embellished with overlapping flowers (the large ones are Papermania Big Bloomers, I can't remember where the small purple ones came from) to ressemble a bouquet. The felt bird, which I love and have used on cards before, came from Tiger.
My Nan was happy with it, I hope Bess likes it too.

Wow, not everyone gets to make one of those!
it's a good story..nothing like a bit of practical thinking,eh?
It looks lovely! I'm sure Bess liked it. Cute story.
That's very special - I can't believe how much work all of that must have taken you ... The stencil-look bird is especially nice.
