she is one of my first friends here at SC, and just took me under her wing, she is so sweet and helpful, and I just love her and her hubby, who also does cards...
Thanks for everything sweet friend!! Hugs.
I change the colour, flower and ribbon...I coloured the ribbon with re-inker to match the BG...just a few drops in water, and stuff your ribbon in, colour and squish out and let dry, seam binding works real well with this method... mine seems to be two toned...but it really isn't must be the (camera's flash)
Thanks for looking and Blessings:

Sister, when I saw your card I was so drawn to the seam binding...and then I read what you wrote! Thank you so much. You are dear to me and I am an admirer of your work and your heart. Thanks for the sweet friendship you share with me. (((Hugs))) Your card is beautiful Jan- the soft blue sponging, lil pearls framing and that gorgeous bloom! These are my favorite style of card (and fun to make too!)
Oh yes- and thanks for sharing Wendy/Wanda too! LYMI

Well, I LOVE your card! You made a perfect Jan original that was inspired by Pat! She is a very inspiring woman! Seems she takes to lots of newbie's and makes them all feel special and welcome! Back to your card...love the faint blue sponged lines, love the pearls, love the varigated seam binding(and hand dyed to boot)! So soft and pretty!
