Very pretty -- I really like the monochromatic yellow and white color scheme you've used! Thanks for sharing your card with us in the Tea Room :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so gorgeous, Cec! It jumped right out at me when I first saw it in our Yahoo group! Your combo of colors and patterns is just fabulous and I LOVE your color work on the image!
ReplyDeletewhat a very pretty card! Those yellow flowers are gorgeous with the daisy paper and the decorative edges you did.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! Love the yellows! I really should use yellow more often. WOW. You just make it look so easy...I'm impressed by your talent.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of the corner punch but this is lovely. I looks like it might match a border punch that I have from EK success. You just may have inspired me to rethink the corner punch issue!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty image and card. Thanks for joining us at Speedy's Friends.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Love the yellows! Thanks for playing along with us at TSTR! :)

You just reminded me in your comment WHY I don't have any light carpets in the house. Or light clothing. Lately I'm even buying bedclothes in light capuccino!! lol
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your card. First - yellow is one of my current favorites and second - your colouring is just fabulous! That image seriously intimidated me when I got it - no idea how to work with it! :( You have done such a fabulous job!!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! I have some of that dp and I am afraid that I hoard it. I love that image and I must have it now. Everything about your card is lovely, from the coloring, ribbon to the sponging. Very inspiring this week.
