The card today has been in the studio since Sunday. I was not happy with the original sentiment shape. I had stamped it on the nestabilities blossom shape and sponged the edges but it looked terrible. I love how others have used the blossom shape and I think I would have liked it more without the sponging or with better sponging. So the sentiment on this card is my third try and I think it works best on the circle. I know it's the same colour palette as of late, but after a BIG disappointment with some new dp and sage shadow yesterday I had to get back to some comfort colours (sort of like comfort food on a cold, snowy day!). Hope you are having a lovely day. I'm off to our Farmer's Market soon and then meeting my dh for lunch :) We have our summer heat back again!

This card is beautiful. The sentiment looks great. The sponging was worth trying. The butterflies are nice. And the dp looks wonderful. I like useing the same dp a few times because it helps me get use to the colour combos and pay more attention to the details. The embossing on your kraft paper is a nice touch.
Maureen, my first visit to your blog ...you have some beautiful creations ! I love the colors, layout and sentiment here on this card. Great job!
Love it, Maureen! Sewing on the embossed panel is lovely as is the butterfly. Great card :D
