Love the simplicity of this stamp design. It gives a handpainted look to your beautiful card. Wonderful paper choices and mix of patterns. The black accents are an awesome touch.

GORGEOUS card, my sweet friend! I LOVE the colors you used, and such a beautiful image. Sweet peas are one of my favorites. My Mom used to grow them every year! So sweet in appearance and fragrance! :o)

So pretty. I just love that sweet pea image and the way you colored it and highlighted with the chalks (thought you had air-brushed it). But what really had me singing your praises was your choice of designer papers and layout to complement the image. Couldn't be any more gorgeous!

Oh sweet peas are so very special to me & your card is beautiful! Where I grew up my mom always had sweet peas growing on the side of the house......trellised up on sting. So sweet. Love them to this day.
Sorry I haven't been around. Got sick then my back went out so I haven't crafted in about a month. UGH I so need to get back into it.
Anywho......it sure limited my computer time (killed my back to type). So now that I'm on the mend I thought I'd check in with some of my sweet friends (YOU) that I haven't seen in so long.
Happy Huggies & Sweet Blessings ~
