What a delightful and timely challenge today. Both challenge hostesses suggested pulling together pastels and pots for their respective challenges. Thanks ladies.
My sweet friend, Eager Beaver (Ellen), presented this die on one of her stellar cards, and it was love at first site. Thanks Ellen for supporting my indulgent habit.
For the F4A317 challenge, my die cut vase/pot covers the mirror gold foliage. I think that means I didn't have to cheat today. I'm think I'm good to go as Benzi sometimes says.
On Fridays, I always think of the Song "It's Friday night and I just paid". Anyone else remember that? Well I didn't get paid today so I'm going to have to call my boss. The staff refer to her as the witch! That's how bad she is. Ooops, I'd better be careful cuz I am the boss I speak of. Yikes.
Have a great weekend my friends. TFL

I knew this was your gorgeous creation right away, Anne. It is just so striking. Your cards are always an example of design, balance, and beauty at their best. The colors and textures are awesome. Into my favs.

What a gorgeous composition Anne! that blue panel and wonderfully texture pink vase really stand out - and the funky gold foliage add such interest to your creation!

A beautiful composition Anne, do the chopsticks signify that it's a food bowl with stir fry vegetables? Perhaps it's whatever the beholder wishes to see.

Beautiful card. I love the aqua, and The dies. You do Asain so well. I might pick your brain for pointers one day. I have 3 drawers of Asian stamps and 1/2 a basket. I made only a few cards with them. I love the way you do Asian. What kind of work do you do? Maybe I could put in a good word with your boss. I've been emailing her a little lately. Lol
