For You

Last summer, I saw a picture of a variegated green and white Canna plant I very much wanted to grow, so I ordered several tubers and shared one of them with my little brother Gordy who lives on the opposite end of the country near Seattle.  We're having a contest to see whose Canna grows the fastest!  For his birthday card, I wanted to continue the tropical theme.  I had no Canna stamps but I did have some tropical images I could use instead . . .

A coordinating vase with some marble embellishment, some texture to back the variegated greenery, a bit of gold enhancement, and we have a tropical card that I hope will please . . . even though the greenery features Monstera leaves instead of Cannas!

It's the thought that counts . . .
