For today's challenge "Tears Can Be A Good Thing" using wrinkle free distress technique. I used pink, orange and yellow for my distress background. I have a niece who always smiles through her tears as soon as she greets a family member. It is one of the most beautiful expressions of love that I've ever witnessed. No matter how sad she is, she always has a smile for others.

Such a sweet tribute to your niece - the sentiment is just lovely along with the other elements. I also really like the color combination for the background. Fabulous card!

What a beautiful explosion of colour! It makes the perfect backing for that lovely sentiment. The open spaces of your embellishments really let the colours shine. Sweet card!

This is stunning, Priscilla!!! I've never tried this wrinkle free distress technique, but I would like to do so. I especially love how the black elements, that beautiful butterfly, and the black geometrical image, the sentiment and the base layer really ground and make those beautiful colors pop.
Thanks so much for leaving a kind comment on my leaves card--you definitely made my day.
