Well, this card took a lot longer than I would have liked. I changed my direction a few times. I think one of my favorite SU colors is old olive. I love the earth colors. I also love the color pink. I was going to put chocolate chip with it, but that didn't end up happening. One of my favorite sentiments is "Each day provides its own gifts." I had a cherry blossom branch that I put with the sentiment. And then I love, love ferns. I had to put a few of those in. And, I also used an ornate pretty embossing folder with my cuttlebug. I added a little ribbon and that was pretty much it. I did use watercolor to color my cherry blossoms, but there wasn't that much to color. I hope you like it.

Even though it took longer than anticipated, I am sure it was worth the time. This is BEAUTIFUL!! I love the background panels, cut on the diagonal. Great color combinations, too. Lovely card!
