Congratulations to our latest queen - Sylvia (sillyfilly) - I loved looking through your beautiful gallery. Here is the lovely card that inspired me. The Present
I love the sentiment and the beautiful framing and softly stamped flowers.
I am putting this in the Ways to Use it challenge - Showcase the sentiment. I used this weeks colours - elegant eggplant, concord grape and Melon Mambo. Plus I will put it in this months fan club them - keep me in stitches.
Enjoy your much deserved reign - Sylvia.
Hugs..Pat

Oh, Pat, what a beautiful thought to send out to someone with a gorgeous bloom to go with it!! Your soft orchid stitching is such a great contrast to the lacy eggplant border of your card - gotta love those wee flutterbys! Hugs!! lymi!
