Mary is our hostess this week and she has chosen mint macaron, strawberry slush, early espresso and for dessert: a nontraditional valentine. I subbed for both the mint and the strawberry as best I could. I made 2 cards again this week - both with the same stamp set and sentiment, but different in other ways. If you care to tell me which you prefer, I would love to know. This is a new stamp set for me, and the postage die is new too. I think the card is pretty self explanatory. Added stickles and gems to the flowers. No desert this week!
Come and join in the challenge - you may be our next favorite!!

Maura, this is GORGEOUS!! I love the text style of your sentiment and the branch and flowers are beautiful. Your postage stamp die cut and embossing are wonderful! Off to see your other card!

If you've seen my comment on the other card, you know that although I love this one, I have to vote for the other one, which wins by a hair! I do love the lattice work on this one. They're both lovely cards!

love this card as well Maura-such different looks with the same set-I don't think I can choose between the two-they both have elements that I like-great work
