I always love the softness that white embossing gives - and on the kraft it looks super. The handwritten style of the sentiment font really suits the image, too.

I love how softly this is coloured Sallie! I have a mixed bunch of lilies beside my patio and I love watching them come into bloom. One of them is coloured not much different than this. Gorgeous card!

As usual, your amazing artwork drew me in immediately from the SCS gallery, I especially like how you have used soft colors plus white inking of your image to create a muted yet very colorful look, as you have used touches of brighter color (something I have learned--thank you!)with the much lighter shades, and the dimension you have created is truly stunning. As well using shades of the same background color in your card base plus a layer of matting, then you used this same shades in your artwork background really allows the coloring of your lilies and leaves to stand out. Choosing to have a thin layer of the same red/burgundy that you used in your flowers also causes your flowers and leaves to really shine. Magnificent!
This has been favorited, what a pleasure to see and to learn from your artwork, Sallie!
