From the Desk of Barbara

Today I am using a stamp set that I have had and have not used before.  Don't we all have those?  Come on, I am sure you do.  I love this image and don't know why I had not used it before.  It is from Marcella Hawley when she was designing for Flourishes, no longer available. 
I will be entering this card in the Mod Squad challenge and the Simon says challenge this week.  Wonderful prizes and if you don't enter, you don't win.

I have done the bottom horizontal line.

    Oh isn't that a wonderful set, one I did not buy, but I do have many others. Love the design of your card and the colors and designer papers you used! What's really great is how you only colored only some of the flowers, LOVE that idea, looks fantastic! Happy Easter to you and Tom and the family! xo~

    Love the squared background. I need to remember this. Sometimes a busy pattern is distracting, but when you break it up like this it adds so much interest. Love that you only colored a few of the flowers. this is such an amazing stamp that the little bit of coloring draws attention to the detail of the stamp. Well done.
