I took a few liberties with today's sketch. When I saw the sketch, this is what I visualized. The second "V" is the flaps of the folded over newspaper....and the sides are not even. Wanted to have the feeling of flowers purchased in a European flower market in the town square. I used the colors from yesterday's CC.

This is brilliant! How I love not only your gorgeous watercoloring but the folded newspaper! How unique Sallie! The raffia and tag are the perfect finishing touches to this!

Wow! I love the way you wrapped the flowers in newspaper like this with the tie! Going into my favs!

Sallie, I am speechless. Never in a million years would I have visualized this from the sketch. This is beyond clever. And your watercoloring is amazing. Beautiful card :-)
