At last ... it's "time" for me to take the true challenge of QFTDAR ... honoring Anne Ryan. Now if you have perused her gallery, you will understand the hesitation. Here's a simple representation of one of her marvy creations ... and if only I could, I would send beaucoups of these as belated b'day greetings (seen in the inside photo of this card).
More insight, details, & relevant chat are found at Savor the Journey. Thanks for everything you do, Anne!

Tex what a grand card this is. No, actually it's not a card but rather a work of art. I love the image and how you've used distressed inks ... something I have absolutely no knowledge of. I cant get over how gorgeous those 3 colors are together. Hey, and look at that bow! Holy Moly, girl! You are so sweet to take time out of your schedule to craft such a beauty. Thank you.
