Loved the bright pink bedding for today's challenge! I chose Zoe Quilt. This also works for yesterday's LSC challenge to have a leaf be the focus of your card.
I stamped the leaf and colored it w/ markers then outlined a little w/ a dark green gel pen. I penciled a box around it and cut the box up to my image then finished off the out of the box parts w/ scissors. It's edged w/ a marker and layered a few times, the last pink layer I used the cb swiss dots folder on.
I cut little boxes for the bottom row and added two punched circles then some tiny flower brads to mimic the patchwork look of the quilt. These are attached to dp then to a pink card. TFL

Oh Julie, this is soooo perfect! The white background shines it so white! Love that big plant with the big leaves, and the coloring job! Very original and so you, amazing work. Labor of love for sure, you sure did capture the colors in Zoe's quilt. Fabulous! Love it to pieces.

So pretty! I love how the leaf falls off the card a bit!
