I need more cards in this size (folded 7 X 7 cardstock). I have a really difficult time loving blue bayou...of course, I really do not have to love it....just use it. I sponged the edges of all the layers to create more depth of color. I sponged the flowers as well just to give them a softer look...added a spot of ruby red to the center. Added some border dots just to create a more light-hearted card. I love the leaf stamp in this set stamped at opposing ends to each.

This is beautiful... I haven't used this set yet, but when I do I am certain I will try the sponging - it suits the flowers very nicely. I like the layering too and I think the Blue Bayou is the perfect complement to your flower colors! Bravo!

Gorgeous! The touch of red in the flower centers really makes them especially beautiful! I love this shape too (like yesterday's), it's wonderful! Lovely work today, as always!
