Hi! Here is my card for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Wide Open Spaces...
This was a challenge for me! I love to have backgrounds, and filler everywhere! LOL!
I designed this type of lily about 6 months ago, and a friend named it "Faith's Lily." It's made using the SU!Oval and circle punches. The flower is covered in Crystal Effects to make it shiny and stiff.
A college friend's daughter just found out she is pregnant, so I'm sending this to her! (The daughter is now a doctor! Wow! I'm getting OLD! LOL!)
This one will have to be mailed in a padded envie!
What do you think?

Gorgeous....the flower is so cool you don't even notice the wide open space! You could have scribbled on there with a marker and we still wouldn't notice it!
I'm an x-florist. This is a beautiful flower. I thought you had a camillia on a package when I first saw it. It's so so pretty. you really met this challange with a bang! It's great. I'm going to have to try and case it. I like the idea of the sparkley finish. Does it end up looking dewy? I'll just bet it does. Lovely job.
This is an amazing card; absolutely beautiful! The flower speaks for itself (wow), but I love the simplicity of the card, the ribbons, how "wonderful" is showing all along them and that little bow too. Just beautiful!!
(How did you keep the flower together? Hmm?)

it's beautiful! Those waxy leaves sort of remind me of magnolias, which are blooming here now. Love how you intersected the ribbons and words right under that big flower.
