This is a shameless CASE of LilLovesStampin, Charlene. I loved this card when I saw it in the CC195 gallery & put it into my favorites. DH needed a sympathy card & this was just perfect. I didn't use Saraha Sand (don't have any), and no punch on the main image. I bleached my flowers, then painted crystal effects on them. Everything else is exactly the same.
Thank you Charlene for your inspiration for a difficult card.
Thanks for taking a look.

It's beautiful, Karen! I like your bleaching and use of the crystal effects on this delicate bloom. I've only done bleaching once and was afraid that I was going to get it all over me! LOL! Thank you for flattering me with your case. Your work is fabulous!

Girl, come on now...let's take another look at this card! Shameless, I think not! I love your image and your new cb folder is so perfect behind that gorgeous image. This card is superb! Not doubt about it, this is too stunning!

This is divine & in its own right too! Beautifully done. I love the angled cuts on the bottom edges of the sentiment piece. The CB embossing looks so good behind the main image.

This just showed up as a recent favorite on the Gallery homepage and I was immediately drawn to it. I just love your bleached flowers with the crystal effects on them. Such a lovely sympathy card. Into my favs!
