This is my sample for today's TLC challenge: you can find out all about the challenge HERE.
After I decided not to use the background panel which I repurposed into my card for Joanne's DTGD challenge, I went simple, and just stamped the floral branch from Thoughts and Prayers onto some old DP, using markers. After trimming, I sponged the edges of each piece and re-assembled them back onto another sheet of the same paper. Stamped the sentiment, distressed the edges, added a couple of butterflies and called it done.

So lovely. I love how you brushed each brick, makes the card design pop. Only card makers know how much time is spent on one card design. Added to favorites.

Love your brick wall - so pretty with the flower vines on it and the matching background paper. I'm amazed at your patience to sponge the edges of each brick!

Ditto on the amazement over sponging each brick. Patience and a steady hand created a beautiful card.
