This card combines this week's Color Throwdown and last week's Inkspirations sketch. I was sooooo excited my Verve order finally arrived and I got to play with some gorgeous flower images created by Julee...happy sigh Just LOVE this Mother Teresa quote too. What can I say, it was a happy card to make

I love how you did the flower center on your gorgeous layered blossom, Ritzi!! Looks like your Verve goodies were well worth the wait

What can I say - it's Verve-alicious! Awesome card - you've made those stamps feel happy too after all that time they spent in a package trying to find their way to you. Love how you've "MamaRitzied-up" the flower centre with those wonderful little black pearls. And a Colour Throwdown and a sketch challenge to boot! Great work! RYPH! (We'll just pretend that scalloped border was done with a punch, won't we?!? It can be our little secret.) ;-)

Three stikes and you're out Ritz. I didn't get to see this beauty cuz the keyword pnz was missing. I'd really hate to see you get kicked out. The new rule is: If you get kicked out of the Punchkateerz, you have to send ALL your punchez to uz!! So, I suggest you get yourself togetha!! LOL!! Just don't want to miss any. Wow, this is so, so incredible Ritz. I love everything about it from the Mother Teresa verse, to the b/g leaves, the colors, punched border and ribbon treatment. And, you know I just LOVE those black pearls in the center of your GORGEOUS flowers!! TFS!

That is a nice sentiment. And when I saw the pic of your card, but hadn't read the words yet, I KNEW it was the color combo from Color Throwdown! Very lovely.
