It's always a special treat to create when you have a plan/idea in mind. That's the way it felt for me to work on this one ... a special treat. This week's newly crowned QFTD is none other than the talented and sharing Cathleen Torina (ctorina)! Hear the trumpets announcing in unison? I also knew that I wanted to make a "vintage" creation ... so here it is ... inspired by Cathleen's card.
Savor this beautiful day today!

Bev, what a piece of art here. Love the vintage feel to it. Your tulips are just divine. Look at that tiny paper piercing in the corners. Good thing Joan commented about that or I might have missed it. Anyway, gorgeous card. Love it! TFS :0)
