Boy, was I ever inspired buy this photo. Lovely colors and flowers and the delicate background. I kept my card light and feminine, with the colors and texture that I saw. Love the pale yellow to white flowers and the greens in the photo.
Here is my card.

Stitched rectangle dies from Lil Inker for the frame
Inside frame is Frantic Stamper Fancy Frames #1
