As it's the start of a New Year I thought I'd try a couple of new techniques (for me, anyway!). Here's a card made using the recessed window technique. The back panel has sponged clouds on it - another first for me!
I went a bit punch crazy today. After my punched hearts card, I punched these little flowers, the plant pot and the sentiment panel. (Ssh, don't tell anyone but I also used a rogue peel-off greeting that somehow escaped my purge before Christmas!)

Another ApricotRose Card in My Favorites! I think you'll need to do something new the first of each month so we won't have to wait for 2011 LOL!
I really like the idea of the recessed window but think your color combo is refreshing and realistic. Love your profusion of flowers against the fun clouds too!
