Oh those thistles are fabulous! Your design and layout are fantastic! Great choice of Designer papers and your button and twine make for a wonderful accent. AND I adore that dragonfly, super cute! Spectacular dies too!
ReplyDeleteLove that bold paper and die together with the fabulous image. Just gorgeous.That layout is sooo fabulous and works well with the papers. Go link this design up at Scrapy Land "Use an Image" challenge.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW! What a fantastic card! I love the colors and the design. What a layout! The thistles are really neat. I can see why you love them! Awesome dragonfly!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Awesome card Judy. The previous comments say it all. I especially like the thistles and Spellbinders die
ReplyDeleteGreat card design.
ReplyDeleteStunning Judy, love the design and mixture of papers, dies and stamp!
ReplyDeleteBEautiful card my dear! Amazing job on the inspiration photo! Have a Blessed day!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful stamp and I just love the copper embossing. I'd never heard of Lavinia stamps, so had to follow your link. I know it's a quirk of some kind, but the stamps are listed at between $1000 and $3000. I know that's not correct! Anyway, love that tuck and fold element and one of my favorite elements on your card is the pretty dragonfly. I love dragonflies! Judy, I'm so glad you played along in our Neutrals challenge at Double D!
ReplyDeleteOh Judy this card is drop dead gorgeous. So many beautiful elements here. You sure nailed the Double D challenge. I so love this card. I see so many beautiful Lavinia stamps used by our friend Cheryl and love how you inked up the thistle. Oh I LOVE this one to bits.
ReplyDeleteSo much to look at! Love the papers, diecuts and your pretty focal...great job!
ReplyDeleteOooo what a stunning image, am loving the diecut corner and layout, thanks for joining us at Penny Black & More this month, Luv Sam x
