This is a case of Kris' Watercolor Trio. Kris, I would have bet my paycheck that you had been FS years ago! Your gallery is loaded with wondrous beauty! I loved your card, and was drawn in by the lovely touch of lace, one of my favorite things! I love how you sponged the main panel, and the wonderful 'fussy cut' on your blooms.
I kept the overall layout, making it a 5 1/2x 5 1/2 and changed the colors and images. The Christmas sentiment is from an unknown retired 1997 SU set, and is stamped on a pre-stitched panel cut with that resembles frost. The panel was made using a Tim Holtz die cut and was sponged in Creamy Caramel around the edges. I used SU's photo corner punch, cutting the corner in half to form a banner like shape. The background panel is stitched and MS Branch punch surrounds my latest find from the Dollar Store- paper roses! I love these!
Kris, enjoy your week! You sooo deserve it!

Exquisite!!! The rose and the dripping lace are just amazing but it's all your tiny, beautiful little details that make me want to sit and look at for a long time! Truly a work of art!
