Squares of Hope

Photo Details

Poster: CAKath

Double challenge card. I was inspired by these beautiful boots on John Lewis site.

http://www.johnlewis.com/125844/Style.aspx

The color reminded me of soft sky and the flowers look like Elements of Style. I used letters on 4 small square panels to work for the HYCCT challenge today as well. The flowers were stamped in black, watercolored and cut out.

This card took me all day...... yikes. Some creative days are like this. Hope you like it. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

I can see why this card took you all day -- all that cutting looks wonderful! And I like your Scrabble letters.
