Opposites. This card was really a challenge for me.
USE
Oldest set... SU brush stroke blossoms
Newest tool... Brayer(from Ardodd) doing the retiform technique
Favorite color combo... Turquoise and Peach
Least favorite embellishment... Spiral clips. Not that I don't like, but so hard for me to use.
I didn't just stick to this recipie. I did have to add a sentiment, butterfly and a flourish. I also because of the weight had to use brads for functionality, not just for embellishment, in the corners.

Very pretty MariLynn. I love that retriform look. Going to have to refresh my mind on how it's done. Your flowers are super pretty. Love the sentiment and spiral clips. Lovely card today! TFS :0)
