Today I am sharing a birthday card I made for my Aunt. Hope she likes it. She loves flowers and anything feminine. I also made this as a sample for the SC435 sketch challenge designed by Janette and in honor of Joan's birthday TLC428 Happy Birthday- I chose the challenge TLC304 Sewing/Stitching of Joan's to use on my card. Happy Belated Birthday Joan!! Beautiful sketch, Janette!

Beautiful card, Chris, with the Gothic window, its lacy curtain, and lovely flowering branch in front. The sketch looks equally good turned 90 deg. and the window for the center panel is brilliant.

Such a pretty card, Chris. Love your color choices, and I am still drooling over that window. Think I may have to break down and buy one for myself Your stitching is perfect. I especially love the sweet little flower as center of your beautiful bow. Beatiful card!
