Amber has a lovely gallery and I chose her French Roses card. She stamped a collage BG and I changed to a plaid BG, used a large daisy instead of roses and kept her sentiment placement on the panel. I made the plaid using tumbled glass, dried marigold and ripe persimmon distress inks and added glitter strips. The flower was cut from a smooshed water color panel I made with wild honey and ripe persimmon inks. Here's her card.

I adore plaids and yours are out of this world! Your blossom created from your smooshed water color panel is so gorgeous!

Love the colors you used on your hand made plaid Sue! And the addition of the glitter lines! Lovely inking on your bloom so it doesn't look flat and it pulls the orange out of the plaid as well!

I love the fun, happy feel of this card. So impressed that you made the plaid bg -- its great -- and I love how that sunny daisy looks mounted upon it. Great card.
Sue, This is a pretty case of Amber's card. I can't believe how perfect your plaid background is. Wow! The glitter strips really add a touch of sparkle. Your big sunflower is so cheerful and looks perfect with the background design.
