I certainly am - this is nearly the card that wasn't, because my computer won't start. Then I had to download GIMP because DH recently formatted his laptop and there was no editing software on it. And I hate photo-editing on the laptop, so I hope this looks OK.
A2 base, sponged with Faded Jeans.
Background panel - I misted some paper with Broken China, and then stamped IO's Gradations with Stormy Sky, and Inspired by Nature with Bundled Sage. I distressed the edges, added stitching, and then decided to add a Woodware sentiment.
Main panel - I cut the oval frame with Nestabilties, sponged with Broken China, embossed with Textile ef and sponged the edges with Faded Jeans. For the flower panel, I used Antique Linen and Wrinkle Free Distress for the background, and then added the flowers from Pocket Silhouettes, inking the stamps with markers. I did stick to mostly blue but couldn't resist adding a pop of colour. Butterfly is from a scrap of paper, edged with green marker, embossed with Textile ef and sponged with blue.
Off to try and perform CPR on my computer...

Oh, I hate computer problems, so, so frustrating! But this looks great, Sabrina, your bg is beautiful and that little pop of red in the row of blue flowers is genius - love it!
