This was one of those cards that looked better in my head then when I put it on paper, if you know what I mean. I'm not overjoyed with it. I should get my DIL Jenna to shabby chic inspect it for me or critique it I mean....or something....too much color? I can't put my finger on it but it was somehow softer in my head. haha. I did sneak dessert in there, because I think FRIENDS are sweet. oH well, it is what it is. Off to bed with me. I am what I am, and that is TIRED. Happy Tuesday everyone!

This is great - I love it. Love the way you have stamped the trees in the lovely spring colours and then framed it all with that lovely lacy edge. Great little matching flowers too. So very shabby chic.

I think this is such a pretty card Karen!! Great idea!! I love your ribbon and the lovely trim. I also like the way you have the flowers in the fourth box. I couldn't reproduce my card the way I had envisioned it. I even prayed before I began, but all I got with it was frustrated. Oh well - I know you know about that. :>)

Beautiful card! I really like the 3 different takes on a spring time tree in full glorious bloom. The cluster of blooms is so pretty! That bit of green ribbon looks lovely behind them. I think the pierced edges combined with the distressing looks awesome! Great card!
