I ended up getting the Oh, So Lovely hostess set with my last order. I like it, it is quite pretty, but I wish now that I had gotten So Many Sayings since I have seen how others are unmounting it. I just know I will use that set more than this one. Guess that is for next my next big order.
Since I got it, I decided to use it for a couple of challenges.
I love this color combo, especially because it got me using my Basic grey paper and taffeta ribbon. and the layout. I watercolored the images with my aqua painter with the soft sky and blue bayou ink pads. I then outlined the flowers to with blush to soften the look even more. I think I left off a panel from the sketch challenge, but I think this works too. I only had one ribbon on the card at first and something just didn't feel right, it was unbalanced. So I added the ribbon around the main image and I like the two ribbons much better. I then added the paper piercing for interest.
This card is a 5 inch square.

Gorgeous watercoloring! You are awesome, as usual. Guess I'll have to get this set next time... I got So Many Sayings last time! Too bad we don't live closer together- we could share...
