This card is for today's SCS Free For All(F4A14)! Inspired by a Collection! Aside from collecting craft stuff, I collect ornaments. I love glass ornaments the best. I love intricate designs,whimsical, and floral. This card makes me think of a clear glass bulb with a beautiful flower hand painted or etched on the outside. Love that!
Try as I might I wanted this card to work for this week's sketch challenge, but my flower was so big and the horizontal band covered most of it up...gasp! I opted not to go there. LOL! Boo Hoo! I ended up with a funky layout, though. Oh, well!

Oh, Betty, your card is fabulous!! Your coloring of the lily-of-the-valley is absolutely spot on and beautiful!! I know what you mean by the SC horizontal band!!; ) (After I uploaded my card for SC, I put the ribbon behind my brayered panel before I sent it off.)
