Korin(sweetnsassystamps) suggested the site of RedEnvelope to Stef for today's IC.
I needed to make a thank you card for a friend who gave me a lovely bouquet of English lavender from her garden. I just got this Hero stamp...which I think is an older design.....and was attracted to this VERTICAL GARDEN for my inspiration.

Your gallery neighbor chose the same inspiration piece! I don't know if that's English ivy, but your thank-you card for the English lavender is lovely.

Your ivy looks like you watercolored it and I love the way it's part of the thank you oval (would that be "inside the box" technique? lol). Your dot motif is lovely on this both in the embossed bg and the dots surrounding the sentiment. Very pretty Sallie!

Oh, Sallie, this is wonderful - and your friend is going to love this. I love the effect water misting gives - such an artistic feel. The striped DP is perfect contrast with the swiss dot EF, and I love the dimensional paint. Don't know that I have seen that before. Again , simply wonderful.
