Ok, so I flipped it on it's side... but have you ever just looked at a sketch and instinctively knew exactly what you wanted to do? Well, I had that instinct as soon as I saw Rox's sketch and it required me to flip it. I love the sketch in the original orientation and will likely do another in the morning, but had to get this one out of my head tonight
I put away all my Christmas stuff about a week ago and pulled out some of my old favorite sets to work with (limited space... i keep most of them in the cellar)... toile blossoms has always been a favorite! I also just got this sentiment stamp today on clearance at Hobby Lobby and knew it would be perfect with the toile.
Anywho.. enough of my rambling.
TFL!~

Stunning work on this, Holly.
I love the colors, the image and that increfible sentiment.
The beads at the center of the cut flowers really makes them pop from the card.

Holly, this is absolutely gorgeous. The pearls make those colors really elegant and the scripture is wonderful. Love the butterfly too. This would be great framed and put in a place where you can be reminded everyday that we are in God's hands.
